jongo Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 So, aren't the ones with more money better able to afford the VAT increase than the poorest in society who are being hit disproportionately hard? And in order to pay for the greed and stupidity of the wealthiest? The vat increase hits everyone the same, the ones with more money have to spend more money for them to carry on in the lifestyle they want or tighten their belts, the less fortunate either carry on or tighten their belts, simple as that, its happened and we just have to get on with it. I don't actually see it making that much difference at all really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INTERVIEWER Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Chocolate bars (Mars, Galaxy, Dairy Milk etc), All ice cream, fruit cordial/squash (dilute to taste) all have VAT on them. This tax increase is a deliberate attack upon the poorest families in the land. It is a swipe by the super wealthy at disadvantaged children...

Damn the budget deficit and damn those irresponsible fools for running it up to near unmanageable levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
