The elephant in the corner

Trixy blows a gasket (stylishly, of course!) :

Once again, they completely fail to see the point of tax cuts.

They aren't supposed to be used for short term vote winning, you arse, they are used because people are better at spending their own money than the government is, and as such when you cut taxes you increase revenues to the Treasury because the country as a whole does better off. Which is why this concept of 'when things are better we'll stick them up again' makes me want to run around sticking sharp things into people who are trying to ruin our lives for us. They've said themselves that tax cuts are a stimulus so why oh fucking why would they not want that to continue?


Yeah, how come no-one mentions this?

The Labour party is the party of increasing taxation. Until the pips squeak. Healey did say of course it was taxing the rich. But McBroon has had a go at the poor too with his chopping of the 10% rate. Unfortunately governments have got away with taxing incomes for far too long. They take far too much anyway. It is virtually an immoral tax on the family.
