Quite clever increasing taxes on Pensioners - they have no real power and sephologists would suggest large numbers are "hit us again" Tories.

They do actually - they vote more regularly, if you have problem with pensions being taxed go talk to Brown who robbed pension system by imposing tax on dividends received by pension funds.Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View PostComment

I agree with Atw, they do vote and will be vocal about this, but I still think it was right to do this.Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View Post
The gradual increase in the allowance for all, the aim of making taxes simple and the fact that we will probably look back on this era as being the best ever time to be a pensioner, so they can contribute to the pot. Pensioners of the future are going to have a much tougher time."The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." CiceroComment

They seemed to enjoy the boom years without too much complaint, and some would argue it is this crop of people who have benefitted the most out of the housing boom. So I don't really feel that bad for them. My GMiL died last year, selling up a house she paid peanuts for, for 740k. Healthy pension, and was a senior civil service worker.Originally posted by Waldorf View Post

So basically what you're saying is you've never watched what happens in the Commons before? This is how the game is played... hence Osborne's quip about GB selling gold.Originally posted by original PM View PostOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment

Yeah I know it goes what I was trying to say was that we should not as a voting puplic stand for it.
I would like to see politicians putting forward good idea's and plans and in doing that they would show the weakness of the opposition.
Simply picking up other peoples faults and not offering anything better yourself is pointless and does not mean you will do any better.
Any besides Milliband is a complete and utter tw@Comment
