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.

If I've understood you correctly, you are referring to the 45% tax rate.

The 45% rate thing, stood out as a gift of £2,500 to well-off workers. Now that the Chancellor has dropped this ridiculous proposal, he hasn't squared the circle because he hasn't raised the tax thresholds which really would have benefited everyone.
