Typical Tory Trash, look after the already well off and make the poor pay instead. >:(

Actually, when it comes to direct taxation, it’s the rich pay, not the poor. The top 1% of earners contribute around 30% of income tax revenue. The genuine poor don’t pay income tax.
What hits the poor is indirect taxation - VAT, duty on petrol, alcohol, tobacco. So far those haven’t been attacked; hopefully that will continue to be the case

Brian maybe you should just post up the link for the MSN News instead of an individual thread for every story. Of course we would then be missing your in-depth analyses when you add one but I think I can live with that.
So long and thanks for all the fish
