    David Cameron cannot be trusted to act in the interests of ordinary hard working people. He refused to support Gordon Browns economic recovery plan, which is helping people back to work. Instead of helping hard working families, David Camerons top tax priority is a 200,000 tax giveaway to the 3,000 wealthiest estates in Britain, and his proposed cuts to child tax credits and The Child Trust Fund would hit families hard. The Tories are a change you cant afford.
