if you want fairness then everyone should be paid the same as well.

you want a capitalist pay system with a communist tax system. eg. the banks to profit all they want in good times but then become bailed out in bad times, and people to earn huge amounts but only pay small taxes.

What I find laughable in this budget is the huge drops in corporation tax, literally giving away money to the likes of tesco who have their minister hotline. Bear in mind the corp tax drops only affect large companies not small firms.

Will the super rich actually take their tax cut and invest it in this country or will they just carry on investing it abroad?
I think we both know the answer hence your question
