Darth Vader Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Glad to see 'we're all in this together', as the government prepare to reduce taxes for the rich, whilst they are taking benefits from the ill and needy and forcing pay freezes on the lowes paid. No money in the coffers? Unless you're rich, of course. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/chancellor-cut-top-tax-rate-budget-052737056.html No wonder they're letting the police have their water cannons.

HeadingNorth Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 The tax cut is being proposed because there is no money in the coffers. Spurring people to create more jobs and more profits will lead to an overall increase in the amount of tax received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it have been better to allow employers a N.I. holiday for say the first 18 months when they employ someone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 But not all rich people are employers. No, indeed. In fact, probably the vast majority are not employers; they just buy shares and invest their wealth into companies which are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
