Christmas Tree 4729 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Looks like the centre piece of today's budget will once again be the Conservatives lifting thousands of low paid families out of tax altogether by raising the threshold for income tax to £9,000 followed by a further increase to £10,000 the year after. Tax cuts for the poor...... That's the Conservatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 4389 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The real centerpiece is changes to corporation tax worth 20bn over the next 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Only CT could view the removal of the 50p rate for top earners and the cut in corporation tax that will fund NHS cuts as a good deal for the poor. The change in the threshold to £9000 will save anyone earning it £125 a year....£10 a month. Let them eat cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44995 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I fucking despise these twats in charge at the minute. I reserve most of that for Clegg. The ultimate politician in every negative sense of the word. Sold out his party, the voters and the British public at the first sniff of power. You expect it from the Tories, but I would have hoped for better from the Lib Dems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4729 Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Each side will of course see what they want to see. Labour had 13 years to raise the tax threshhold, they didnt bother. Labour had 13 years to raise pensions by tying them in to the retail price index, they didnt bother. Labour had 13 years to tax the bankers, they didnt bother. Im sure just like last year this will be another excellent budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all about wealth creation, you know, that little thing that keeps this country going. The lie you believe is that a tax cut for corporations will entice them to base their operations (and thus create jobs) here rather than abroad. When it comes hand in hand with the approval to offshore even government contracts to the cheapest international bidder do you not question the contradiction there?

Kitman 2207 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The Tory Party can trace its roots back to Robin Hood and his Merry Men. Consistent friends of the poor, they have faced perennial criticism over their insistence on a fair deal for the disadvantaged, making enemies of the well off in the process. Their leader Dai Cameron grew up in the former mining community of Ebbw Vale: one could not say he is a friend of the establishment. "No one goes short on my watch" has become Cameron's mantra in his time in office. Expect the forthcoming Budget to be another painful event for the business and upper classes, with spending on luxury items being reined in, and glum faces in Knightsbridge.

Ayatollah Hermione 13894 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Definitely not reading this thread if CT is going on like this and I'm not getting in a slanging match with him.

Kitman 2207 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I propose that double cheeseburgers should be subject to VAT at 50%. This would rise to 100% with a side order of chips and coleslaw. in addition taxi drivers should be compelled to donate their legs for transplant purposes, given all they do is sit around all day.

Let's see how funny it all is when one of his kids finds themselves on the wrong end of tory policy, or heaven forbid the changes to the NHS that are currently being forced through.

Fraid not, you're in that rich middle class that isnt poor and doesnt create jobs. You need to do yor bit for queen and country while sipping on your pims after work.

Kid Dynamite 7034 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I've never understood why working class people vote conservative? I can see that some people would side with their right wing policies on immigration but surely they have enough of a clue to understand the working masses are the people the Tories care the least about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
