"were all in this together" "

[Don Quixote]

It is only a matter of time before this government is brought to its knees. David Miliband might have to come back but it is only a matter of time.

[Mr Burns]

Tax payers arent looking out for the poor by paying taxes are they? Surely they are paying taxes because its naughty not to?

Please explain what you mean by benifits? Thank you.

Surely your first sentenace would mean, that you don't need to asked the question?

 

[Mr Burns]

Please explain how the Labour Party were to blame for a worldwide recession.

Thank you.

They werent, but the worldwide recession isnt the whole reason we are in the shit now.

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Surely your first sentenace would mean, that you don't need to asked the question?

Which question: Do people pay taxes because they have to? Or: Do people pay taxes because they want to help the poor?

The country will be beyond 'f***ed' by then.

No its only about 70% of the reason.

So we'd be 30% better off if Labour hadn't spunked vast amounts of money up the wall then ?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I would not say to help the poor but I get the gist of what you're saying. I do not pay taxes because I have to, because I want to. I also have direct debits to other organisations I like to give money to.

What did they spunk vasts amounts up the wall on then?

Two wars that any party would have got involved in no matter what they say now and bailing out the banks.

You forgot the few billion they'd already spent on ID cards before it was scrapped.

thats a good question, where exactly is government spending £150billion more than it recieves? btw, bailing the banks cost about £76billion in 2009, so the deficit for this year has nothing to do with bailing out banks. just budgeted overspending from the previous two or three finance bills.

 

[franks brother]

One can really trust politicians.

There is a solid reason why this country is called rip off Britain.

Fom train fares to payment processing charges. The consumer bodies in this country lack the balls or teeth to take companies to task.

Cameron is a clueless **** and the rest of the cabinet inc. such luminaries as Baroness Varsi are millionaires so all this 'we're in together ' bollocks is starting to wear thin

 

[Guy Fawkes]

All this fuss over just a 2.5% increase in VAT, anyone would think its a hike of 20%.

Why are the Labour party putting such a negative spin on this neccessary increase? - Are they trying to scare people into not spending and making the whole situation worse that it needs to be

Surely the country is in need and it is a pretty fair way to raise tax, If someone buys an item with VAT on it such as a TV, those earning more are more likely to buy a more expensive TV than a poorer family might and therefore the richer customer would pay more tax - how is that unfair (unless its from the point of view of envy)

We are mainly talking about items that there is a personal choice whether to buy or not, just because a poorer person can't afford a luxury item like the latest XBox or PS3 game doesn't mean its going to put them into poverty

 

[Leekbrookgull]

This 20% VAT thing can live with it now but not forever,unless and they never will say 'ok anything under £8 ph is tax free' make working pay.
