which all fits in perfectly for a daily torygraph article.Rascal said:KnaresboroughBlue said:Rascal said:The Taxpayers alliance are notorious for misrepresenting facts. They are further right than most of the RWNJs on here
And im sure Urmston is probably a big fan, because Urmston has failed time and time again to acknowledge that everyone pays tax regardless not just private sector workers.
I have no idea who they even are but I think they just commented on the story, it wasn't their research It says the research was carried out by the Institute of Fiscal Studies (who I equally know nothing about).
The Taxpayers alliance hate all forms of taxation. They believe in a flat of tax across the board and are basically anti tax, anti state, supra Neo Liberals. The IFS are a right wing think tank that was created to investigate taxation issues in the UK but now has a wider remit. IFS reports as most think tank tank reports to be fair are in my opinion guilty of inherent bias
As for the regional pay issue, if you are in favour of a race to the bottom (like one poster on this thread) then it would fulfil l your dreams, but in a just and fair country, having the power of collective bargaining means that the public sector wage in some areas may be higher than the average, but it is these wages that keep many private sector companies in business, and as London is already full, we need jobs, wages and people in the region's (one of the reasons why government's tend to transfer jobs to areas of high unemployment)
