Or even less good for those OAPs.

Keep your lies to yourself please. There may be children present.
There
was no suggestion of removing the WFP, just means-testing it.
Making it
taxable would be one way.
Yes. Tax the WFA to allow for even more tax cuts to the most well
off. You
just know it makes sense.
But, of course you snipped the bit where she promised to help the
disadvantaged. Those are presumably CEOs and above to the likes of you?
Giving tax cuts to the rich generates spending power to employ the poor.
so the trickle down theory says
There are many who say that it doesn't work.
Taxing the rich simply drives them away.
at a certain level
there is little to no evidence that at the rates the Tories
inherited were too high
And yet plenty like Branson choose to pretend
that their income shows up in foreign countrys
so they dont have to pay british tax on it.
but people as rich as Branson would do that if the tax were 10%
That's the fallacy of lower taxes on the rich - the idea that if you
lower their taxes the very very rich will take fewer steps to avoid it
is bull****.
