He's waiting for his mate Ronthenekred to come on stirring it.

 

That will be a meeting of minds!

Mecky, we are having a serious conversation here, nobodies abusive, everyone seems to respect the others point of view. Nobodies ranting, then you turn up.

 

Why don't you get todays Socialist Worker and do the crossword. Keep yourself occupied.

 

You digressed in post 93, I merely gave an accurate response which you don't agree with. Don't make this into another circle thread

All the tories do is create bubbles just before the election and then bribe people for votes with tax cuts. It is short-termism and not for the long term. They call themselves the party of low taxation, but it simply just isn't true. 50% to 45 or whatever it was affected very few people in the UK e.g. very few Footballers like Tevez got an extra £5K per week in their pay packet whilst most people struggle to put food on the table let alone keep warm. We were told the economy is the fastest growing, well I don't trust the figures. it's very suspicious activity indeed especially since the growth forecast was halved last Spring. .

 

The term stealth tax was coined by the media under the Labour administration.

 

Didn't Labour abolish the 10p tax rate doubling the tax rate for the lowest earners?

Didn't Labour increased National Insurance?

Didn't Labour increase VAT to 17.5% (The coalition raised it to 20% but Labour refused to rule this out too prior to the election)?

 

The Institute for Fiscal Studies reported back in 2008 that Labour's tax rises cost families £900 a year more. Not only that, labour also froze the personal tax allowance and National Insurance threshold for a number of years while they were in power, meaning we all paid more tax and NI.

Well shut up crying if you get an answer you don't like then.

You will be because the personal allowance has been unfrozen and is increasing rapidly if nothing else.

But the threshold for the higher 40% tax rate has come down. VAT has gone up etc...
