The BBC reports that the chancellor has ruled out a U-turn on axing the 10p tax rate, saying it would be "totally irresponsible" to "unravel...or rewrite" the Budget now.
Really Chancellor. Is that not just a pathetic way of saying that perhaps we got it wrong but it would be politically embarassing to change it now and so you'll have to wait a year or so and then we shall come up with an incredibly complicated redistributive scheme instead of leaving the money in the pockets of those who really need it.
What is the point of the Labour Government if all they do is hammer the poor with taxes. Perhaps they are just creating an ever larger client state in a strange and cruel bid to maintain power. Party of the poor, well yes, they love creating more poor people.
I just don't understand how Gordon Brown can introduce the rate a few years ago to help the poor and now take it away and say it will have no effect.
This Government sucks.
