RAISE THE TAX THRESHOLD to 20k instead of Measly pennies raising minimum wage ! — 7 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Because the tax threshold is still too low, this 'payrise' means nothing. So basically government get more money back in tax, by giving everyone a payrise. Businesses suffer, the people dont gain because everything else has gone up in price more.....but the government gain.
