taxes

the tories have released their tax consultation document. cameron and osborne are not agreeing to anything in it, but nor are they denying it. instead they are talking about how they want to be seen as the economically sensible party of stability.
the document talks of a virtual flat tax (this means the rich become even richer and the rest of us get a little more, which we will lose in other ways…) osborne says they are not making policy now, waffles on about green taxes (which while noble have two problems: firstly will hit the poor most and if they succeed they will discourage the behaviour that generates the dosh in the first place…)
closer they get to the election the more pronounced will be their need to cut taxes in order to win (buy) votes.
remember that tory tax cuts just mean the rich get richer and our services get worst.
