The Conservative Party is
not only for the rich, and nor is Boris, although that is what Labour would like you to believe.
The issue abuut Boris's proposal regarding the higher rate of tax simply re-sets the position to where it was when the higher tax rate was introduced. This happens more regularly with other taxes (for example the minimum wage, which is increased annually) and it is long overdue.
You may not be aware, but when tax rates for higher earners is reduced, it tends to bring in more income for the treasury and so there is no case for leaving these rates as they are.
A Brexit without a deal would not be a disaster. That is just hype based on forecasts which take into account only the downsides without giving credit for the upsides. The result is unduly pessimistic forecasts, which is no surprise, surely?
Corbyn would totally ruin the economy, and the poor would be the first to suffer. Could you manage with the rampant inflation that would be caused by the excessive money printing programme he would have implemented for his ridiculous spending projects? That would be just the start, believe me. The money makers would invest their dosh elsewhere and emigrate. So there would be little investment and Corbyn would boast that he had abolished the rich in this country. Then he would find that tax income had slumped and so tax rates for everyone (including those currently not taxed under Conservative policies) would rise substantially. Everyone still living in the UK would end up poorer (except the Westminster elite and their hangers on) and Corbyn would say he had achieved pay equality outside his little bubble.
The Conservatives have received a bad press as a result of the austerity measures introduced to avoid the bankruptcy we were headed towards after the Blair/Brown mismanagement of the economy over 13 years, which saw Gordon Brown plunder our gold reserves, steal money from our pension schemes and squander it all with not much to show for it..
However, the end of austerity is now with us, and you will soon see what the Conservatives can do to help the poor. If they get another term at the end of this Parliament with a decent majority, you will see what I mean by that.
The best man for that job is Boris, because he can deliver Brexit and he can get the votes from the electorate.
You'll see.
