Would you pay more tax if it meant protecting public services?

Yawwwwwwwn, think Charlotte's been listening to some of the bores on here

Surprised to see you bashing a die hard socialist.

I would but 50% or 70% is ludicrous - surely Church's perspective is from someone with a large income, if you hit average earners with a 50% tax the amount being spent in shops and on services etc would fall through the floor- or some of the tax would have to be spent immediately on debt advisory services.

Already 62% marginal rate at £100k (inc NI). Crazily imbalanced when it's 47% at £1m plus....

If it keeps me in a job, then yes.

Although the whole austerity agenda is complete bollocks and unnecessary.

Charlotte Church says she would pay tax at 70% to protect public services

I personally think 70% is a bit high but I'd certainly go for 50%. Would you?

Most definitely,much rather pay higher taxes for better public services than bailing out shyster bankers and paying for politicians brasses.

I think she is licking something sticky off her fingers

Yes, but I don't think pumping more money at the NHS is the answer. There's an awful lot of money wasted.

Agree with this. I'd focus on improving social and community care, reducing the burden on the NHS. At the moment hospitals are providing both health care and social care because the level of community provision is so poor.

...if a few quid more tax did a public service of sending Messrs. Clarkson, Hammond and the other bloke on a one way ticket to Venus then I'm in.

 

[Hampster Gull]

And this is what anti-austerity looks like

edit. I was hoping tobounce her photo. Wow. But no, not 70

 

[spring hall convert]

which it was, he was totally correct.

In it appears, yours and his opinion. The fact that I see it differently from you doesn't make it 'a load of shite.'

Anyway, good luck with your next fishing trip.

No, however I would be happy to pay more to improve, one problem I don't trust the people to spend the xtra loot wisely.
