Why is no-one in the media saying the obvious? 45% on £150K pa will become 45% on £125K pa will become 50% on £100K pa will become 60% on £75K pa and pretty fucking soon, we're all going be on 85% on £40K pa. 45% on £150K pa is also going to amount to the square root of fuck all compared to the amount Gorgon is pissing away like a sailor in port.
And Timmy, although he's talking about the LibDumb nodding dog Vince Cable, makes another key point:
Except, you see, those bankers ain’t gonna be making those high incomes any more, because there ain’t no profits to pay them from. So what he’s actually suggesting is that we should raise taxes on those who are still creating value, those with high incomes not in the banking sector.
So, we're not "punishing the bankers", we're punishing everybody left behind who is still earning money from creating value. This is just another lurch to the left, heading for that glorious socialist workers' paradise that Badger Brows (formerly known as "that bearded Trot" who even Neil fucking Kinnock didn't want as an MP) and the great flunking cyst have always wanted.
A bearded Trot, much, much earlier
I can't remember where I read it, but someone kept on banging on about how Naomi Klein was right and right-wing governments use crises to force unwelcome legislation upon us. Well, she was half-right. Only this time it's Naomi's beloved left-wing that is arsefucking us.
And boy, is this going to be ugly.

But Disaster socialism is a tautology.
Socialism is always a total disaster.
I'm suspicious of why £150k was taken as the threshold. Does anyone know the average directors salary in a quango/public sector top rank? My informal reading of Grauniad employment ads is that these loafers are usually in the £120-140k bracket and thus nicely excluded from the increase. It seems like a clear case of attacking the private sector.
Also, it won't actually get implemented until after the election, which means it won't get implemented. It's political theatre to try to set a trap for Cameron, which is bound to backfire.
I was surprised that £175K wasn't chosen so that Gorgon would be exempted.
It must be Alistair's little payback.
Good point on Naomi K. They appear determined to drag us into a proper Depression, and make it last as long as possible. Obama Bin Laden is jsut as bad.
You're bang on.
These worthless parasites become tumescent when bonus time comes around, because they can steal money from me. Now that so many of my colleagues have been divested of their jobs, they want to use more of my money to fund their core constituency - Argosnauts and Primarkians.
The dirty, unwashed scum will get their cheap trinkets at the cost of driving out anyone who can make money and can emigrate -which is precisely what I shall do in 2009.
Alistair is just the glove puppet
