What labour was trying to dp before it got ousted from power was to encourage people to spend more. If people spent more, business would make more money. The more money they make the more successful they are the more successful they become. The more successful they become the more opportunities there are for everyone.
By charging people less on taxes you actually encourage people to spend more. Increasing taxes is short term thinking, particulalry when the economy is as it is and has no long term benefit to the overall economy. The better the economy, the more money the country will have long term
