Why bother at all.
Mass suicide is surely more attractive.

Its a good thing the sarcasm in DimPrawns post is subtle. Otherwise people might miss it.

Tax credits already went up a lot last time, but the level at which they were withdrawn was increased. This was designed to encourage more people to work the minimum possible and rely on the state for support for the rest of their lives.

Tough on small business, tough on the causes of small business.
Whatever they bring in, it'll be fair.

New contractor taxes
Any predictions for the budget?
They should announce exactly how they are going to slam married couples, as part of Labour's commitment to destroying the family and ensuring everybody becomes single mothers on benefits.
Of course we already have the massive Corporation Tax hike (3% in 3 years).
Any other predictions?
We will no doubt get some previous tax cut re-announced and dutifully reported by the economically clueless BBC as a glorious New Labour freebie.
Taxes on booze no doubt. Alcopops probably. Doubt they will touch cider though.
Extra taxes on petrol are tricky at the moment, but they might still whack up the excise duty by inflation. They will balance this out by destroying the market for large, non-prestige cars, so that you will have to be a plutocrat to have a big engine.Tags: None
