George Osborne: 'People paying 40p rate feel they are success'



" George Osborne has been criticised by Tory MPs after allegedly saying that people who pay the 40p rate feel they are "successful" and have "joined the aspirational classes".

Mr Osborne reportedly told MPs in his Downing Street offices that there were "advantages" in more people being dragged into the higher rate of tax.

Tory MPs who were present at the meeting described his comments as "jaw-dropping" and responded to the comments with a "stunned silence".

Details of the meeting emerged as the Chancellor prepares to rule out raising the threshold for the 40p rate in the Budget on Wednesday.

Speaking on BBC One's The Andrew Marr show, Mr Osborne said that his key priority was increasing the tax-free personal allowance. "



What a quality fkwit!!!

FFS, the reason more people get dragged into 40% bracket is not because they started earning more, but because he drops the threshold for the tax, FFS!

If he put in a flat tax of 40%, everyone would feel successful.
