So, after the new dividend tax, proposed removal of claiming business expenses, handing out work permits to India like sweeties and now the proposal to force you onto permie payroll after 1 month, are you going to vote for call me Dave and Osbourne again?

No, because Cameron won't be standing next election.

Even if you think voting for your own self-interest is right, which party would you vote for? When the public at large are angry about tax avoidance who is going to come out in favour of tax breaks for the highly paid?Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

The fundamental duty of any government is to protect the vulnerable and the poor. I think Tories are doing much better than Liebour in that aspect.
They are not voted in to protectthe grossly overpaid tax dodging scumcontractors i.e. us. While our options are to choose between a take away pizza or dinner at the OXO tower, there are people in this countrylike Suitywho should choose between feeding themselves or their hungry children.
If someone doesn't like it, go find ascamscheme to reduce your tax burden.

I tend to disagree - the only role of Govt should be to ensure a meritocracy exists for its people and those that wish to can succeed and prosper according to the efforts they expend , the poor will always be with us - but poverty will always be a relative measurement against those who prosper - & any aid given should be as a temporary safety net rather than a way of life.Originally posted by FatLazyContractor View PostThe fundamental duty of any government is to protect the vulnerable and the poor.
