Raise the income tax personal allowance from £12,570 to £20,000

We think that we are currently paying ridiculous amounts of tax, and that minimum wage isn't even enough to support an average family.
We believe that this would lead to a massive increase on people willing to look for work, instead of people not wanting to, due to it being too expensive to now live.
