You can keep thinking that but I'm pretty well off and I've seen no tax cuts worth cheering about. Plenty of tax hikes though. I feel like the country is being run by a left wing government, not the conservatives.
HMRC are being allowed to run around acting like bully boys, breaking their own rules, threatening and using underhand tactics to try to extract more tax from the well off.
It's got so bad that I'm going to sell half of my assets to pay off the other half (wiping out my debts/mortgages) so that I can downscale my work/income to just below the higher rate tax level because I feel like I'm running to stand still.
Screw 'em. I'm going to earn less so that I don't have to pay what feels like punitive levels of tax. It's that or sell up and emigrate.
