OECD figures indicate that middle-class families are paying an extra £1,250 a year after suffering the sharpest rise in their tax bill of any leading Western country over the past five years.Married couples in Britain are being hammered by some of the biggest tax rises in the developed world, their report will say today.
A husband and wife with two children who both work are typically handing over £1,777 more than five years ago.
This profligate government is completely responsible. You cannot tax those who have nothing and dare not tax the wealth producers, so your madcap schemes must be funded from those on PAYE and in the middle. The philosophy of this governent is that taxation MUST increase every year. If we got just a little back in improved services which we could actually see rather than have to await dodgy, government statistics to inform us that there have been dramatic improvements.......
Labour has reverted to type. They are not and have never been fiscally responsible.
I have a feeling that 'Mondeo Man' is now an ex-labour voter!
