I think some people need budgetary lessons from 30p Lee. Or does cutting your coat according to your cloth only apply to the poor?
What's your point Vic or are you just trying to be argumentative for the sake of it? I will have to leave it to you if it's the latter?
 
Same thing for many families with one bread winner. The point is I don't think the Greens realise that £50k doesn't go far these days, unless you don't have a car, mobile, TV, you grow your own food, make your own clothes and don't go holiday.

How much extra are they gonna tax them?
 
Some people on 100k may be struggling but you cannot base tax policy on individuals or some people.

50k is decent wage and should be taxed accordingly. Personally I think we need huge Tax reforms in this country. Its another chance for Labour to make meaningful change. They won't take it though.
I run a small business and I'm sick of paying my fair share of tax while the very biggest companies pay little or no tax. That's where I would target increased tax revenue. The problem is these companies have so much power and the ear of the politicians.

You would be amazed that a lot of people can change more than one thing at once, mind boggling I know. We generally get fucking nowhere because everyone stands their shouting what about them. Like I said reform the tax system that will include trying to be fairer to all.

Always think its a bit weird the news channels putting the SNP on the main news when it comes to GEs. They shouldn't really be on the national news as they arnt a national party. We don't get the same coverage of the political parties in NI ?

I’m in the high tax bracket. Personally I’d like to see them increase that and introduce further levels at higher income.
