Truss vs Sunak

Carryfast:
We do need tax cuts/removal on regressive council tax, VAT and fuel duty among other taxes which tax income twice and hit the lowest earners most…We need a tax increase on the 40% income tax band to at least 60% preferably 80%.
As for the LabLibCon uniparty who cares only a fool would vote for any of them and expect a different result.

We do.
But we cant.
We paid for millions of peoples wages for best part of a year. You do not spend over half a trillion pound on covid then cut the taxes that are used to pay it back.

Also giving far too much to Ukraine. We should be giving them £0.

I didn’t say cut tax I said reform the system away from regressive taxation on spending and Council Tax robbery.

Taxation on spending actually creates the lose lose situation of being avoided by minimising purchases.
To the point where the tesulting impact on economic growth exceeds the tax revenues obtained.
Also all forms of regressive tax imposes an unsustainable burden on those least able to afford it.
Including taxing already compromised low incomes twice.
Which leaves the laughable situation of rabidly anti fossil fuel use pro climate scam LibDems calling for petrol price reductions.
