SIR,
Labour's Welsh Assembly candidate doesn't get off to a good start by protesting that the well-off should have benefits funded by the poorest.
Mark Whitcutt says he's a strong voice against unfair policies.
Passing down Labour's trillion pound debt to our children and grandchildren isn't fair.
We now cannot afford many things because the country is paying £127million interest every day on Labour's debt.
Paying £46.4billion in annual interest means that amount can't be spent improving Britain's health, education, infrastructure, science or industry.
He says Monmouth will be treated unfairly by Coalition cuts. He's trying to rewrite history.
The Welsh Assembly control the allocation of funding to Monmouth and Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) has been Labour/ Plaid since its foundation in 1999.
It has always treated Monmouth unfairly.
The Labour-led WAG has failed to encourage business into Wales, while vastly increasing public sector jobs.
As a result Wales has one-in-three working in government jobs.
It has never addressed this imbalance and has made Wales more vulnerable to cuts.
Gordon Brown said: "When a country loses control of its finances, the poor are made poorer".
Labour are good at rhetoric and bankruptcy, they are not the solution – they are the problem.
