Lib Dems unveil radical tax package

… the package would benefit “Middle England” - taking one million people out of the higher rate of tax and dropping the party’s former plans for a new top rate of 50p on incomes over £100,000. A further two million people on low incomes would be taken out of taxation altogether, while the 2p cut in the basic rate would benefit people across the spectrum.

Not one to normally discuss politics, this kind of caught my eye (I know the possibility of it happening is somewhat remote). Tax and government help is something that really gets me. Being just slightly in the higher tax bracket means we get taxed loads and also we get no help from the government in terms of benefits, etc. In this country you either have to be poor or unemployed so you get thousands in benefit, and/or have lots of kids to get support from that or be extremely wealthy and not be taxed at all.

It’s just not fair !
