Labour were not and certainly not now, committed to eliminating the deficit. Socialist's like to like in a dreamy world were no-one is told NO. The Tories have always had to mop up the mess left by every Labour government, ever.

The current government has reduced the deficit very slowly, it has only halved in 5 years, we still have £70 billion to go and it is hoped that it will be gone by 2020.

The 50% tax rate did not raise any tax and in fact harmed the economy, it should be reduced to 40% asap to encourage enterprise.

Yes, lovely - so the taxes will not need to be jacked up and spending won't need to be cut as drastically - roll on the good days of New Labour lead by Gordon Brown ...

Yeah, it was such a terrible tax that I wish it was brought back instead of new changes

All this is pissing in the wind. 1992, 2001, 2008 economic cycles of 8-10 years.

There is nothing, NOTHING in the kitty for the next crash. Which might be next month or next year. But likely to be soon.

What happens then?

What utter bollocks this is.

The previous four postings make for a great counter argument, sums up how Labour and the socialist's have lost their way.
