Cutting taxes is Right!

How do you know when you've hit upon a really good idea? Simple, when Labour wheel out the most indistinguishable minister in the history of government, Ed Balls, to savage it. Today, whilst surfing the internet (hasn't he got a job to do?) the Economic Secretary to the Treasury stumbled upon the Conservative Party's tax commission proposals.

These plans call for numerous cuts in taxation to reverse the horrendous damage Labour have done to our wallets in the last 10 years. All in all £21billion is due to be given back to us, the taxpayer, if the Tories win the next election. Income tax will be cut by two percent to 20% (basic rate). The lower 10% rate will be abolished and a swathe of corporate and business taxes will be reduced.

This is my kind of document!

Over the last 10 years or so the amount of money removed forcibly by Gordon Brown from us has shot up. We are the most taxed and regulated in this country than we have ever been. The billions poured into the public sector has made hardly a jot of difference; so why carry on with the huge tax levy?

Lord Forsyth was a relatively good minister when he was an MP, but he has shot up in my estimations by leading the commission that has authored this report. Now David Cameron has some key decisions to make. Does he cow to the liberal media and Labour ministers like the cretinous Ed Balls, or does he show some steely determination and adopt these proposals?

The choice, Mr Cameron, is yours.

Low earners will be much better off, and will not need forms to do so either.

But aren't low earners, who will be paying no tax in these proposals, the ones who make greatest use of the publicly funded services?

They use state schools, the NHS, rely on social services and municiple facilities more.

In effect they are getting everything for nothing
