A tax break on the tax you pay on interest, when all the banks are paying derisory rates on savings anyway.
So, when you are getting 0% interest on your savings, the opposition is suggesting that the way to stimulate the economy is to offer to remove the tax that you pay on it.
Genius.Comment

but the government's job isn't to reward those who have saved, it's to try and protect the average idiot from the mess they got themselves into.
Considering that the majority possess an average IQ, it would follow that we are being governed by the politics of mediocrity (at best !)Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Any tax cuts should be given to those who NEED them, not those who DESERVE them (life isn't fair).And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
