spoken like a true politician, but lets even up things a little (except blairs buddy tax for the non-domiciled).
Tax isn't 30%, once you earn over a certain bracket, it increases from the standard base rate. We all have a tax threshold so can earn a certain amount before you pay any tax. nI isn't 20%, can't remember how much it is, but nowhere near 20%. the government chaged the income tax this year which bennefitted all those earning over i think, £20k, all those who were earning below the second tier threshold all end up paying more tax, and it is those people who can't afford the increase.
With a car, it isn't just the fuel duty, you have a tax on your insurance, your road fund licence is exorbitent (mine is £180 a year), so when they are still using Maggie Thatchers fuel tax excalator, it makes those who depend on a car for a living, a much bigger expense.
I don't do politics much, but the Labour party has done more to cripple you financialy if you are working class than any other party in the past, with stealth taxes and gordon brown spending worse than a footballers wife, under labour, we have gone from a company with manufacturing industry and a good pot of cash in the bank to a country which is closing down its industrial heritage and replacing them with call centres and a massive black hole where money falls in.
