You tell that to those on minimum wage - do you think they can afford it? We want people to work not live off benefits.

Services however will always be cut regardless of increases - but then again ours come from Scottish Government so slightly different.

2010 - I have high hopes for it

I'd like everyone to be on 40%, and have a disposable income and not have to worry about minimum wage. By having a low band of tax, and a minimum wage the govt and those paying the 40% are subsidising companies who don't pay a proper wage.

Another 'unfair' tax is council tax. I'm on a low band, in mid taxing council area. Why should Joe Bloggs just down the road, who may be on minimum wage, have to pay 50% more than me to have his bins emptied?

My point is equality, whether it be income tax or council tax, and if something somewhere else in the Govt's budget needs cutting to give equality then so be it.
