Working people benefit considerably from this package of measures, a little matter that you ignore. You also ignore the simple fact that the additional rate of tax does not raise a significant amount of money and is therefore no more than a punitive tax on the people you hate.
Bile and hate, do you actually proof read your posts to ensure they aren't emotional drivel?

Working people do not benefit from the weakening pound, or higher mortgate rates, that accompany this "plan". Future generations don't benefit from an ever greater amount of their taxes raised being used to pay interest on debt from unfunded (and unnecessary) expenditure today. Safe to say I'll continue to criticise economic plans that don't work, and continue to believe that higher earners should pay a higher proportion of their earnings in tax than lower earners to fund better public services. This is a coherent and legitimate position to hold in a democracy, OB.
