Irish government are muppets who have no command of economy basics lowimpakt. They would boost the economy and collect more tax by lowering the rates, but they chose to raise them. So far they've boosted sales in the North by rising the VAT instead of matching the UK's. Way to strangle the Tiger.

this whole shit storm must be quite unsettling for people who've bet their entire ideology on the wonders of unrestricted capitalism

They should be looking at taxing/national insurance on an individual basis.
e.g
smoker/drinker - money to nhs
dont have kids - less council tax (so you arent paying for everyone elses kids to get an education)I do really like the 50% tax on pay over £150,000 f*ckin right!!!
:)- That level of sophistication would presume... well, a certain level of sophistication at the Inland revenue.moth
- that's £80 a week from 350,000 people = £28 million a year (assuming they all pay)..hans_glib
- which they won't. and against £175 billion it's peanutshans_glib
- a sop to saps like you, my friend...hans_glib
- oh my god, the country would fall into the sea of you tried to implement a tax system that complexkelpie

better off my arse...
we're all in deep shit and the budget has done SFA to address the massive debt that's piling up - that we're all going to have to pay off at sometime. So save your "better off" - they're going to want it back in a year or two, with interest...

well, smokers and drinkers are already a massive cash cow to government through taxation, education is a national issue and doesn't have anything to do with your council tax, and the income tax hike will make hundreds of thousands of selfless wealth creators flee Britains cruel slave-trade tax landscape for the humanitarian save haven of Switzerland. So that's a lot of shite

"smoker/drinker - money to nhs
dont have kids - less council tax (so you arent paying for everyone elses kids to get an education)"that would be such a bureaucratic nightmare. could you 'magine
I personally don't mind paying for other peoples kids' education but I'm running on the weak expectation that they will grow up to be innovative geniuses that'll save the world rather than stab me in the face when I say Grime has turned shit.
- but grime has turned shit. They just can't take the criticism.shitehawke
- cultural debates are easily won with sharp weaponrykelpie
- exactly. they need an O level in taking criticismlowimpakt

that claims I'm £312.01 better off, but I don't believe it
- why not? where's it telling you you're gaining?kelpie
- yes, it is saying that I'll see that reduction in income tax.flashbender
- kelpie0
I'm 70 odds better off, btw, though if I had a wean I'd be nearly 500 better off
- anybody fancy making a baby?kelpie
- I'm sure this will turn out to be a false economy, but what the hell...kelpie
- I do kelpie, but I think biology may stand in our way.shitehawke

£27 better off, but it's misleading because you get wayyyyy less interest on any savings or ISAs at the moment.

50% tax is pure economical racism. And why my money must to go:
- to another alcoholics family with 20 kids?
- council who still don't now how cleanup my street?
- another CCTV camera?
- another anti-terrorist act and more sociopaths with police uniforms with machine guns on streets?
- f*ckin NHS when you wait hours for basic paramedical service?
- genocide in Iraq?
- luxury summer trips for queen, gordon b. and his mates from banks.The most short way to create totalitarian society is so easy. Us taxes to erase independent business and create army of slaves. Place when exist only one company "The Government Corporation". One leader, one party and one nation.
The real question is:
Why all this f*uckers from parliament and house of comments and banks don't sitting in jail for crime against humanity? Extermination two million people and stolen money from 60 million is not enough?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tot…

They should tax 23kon's opinions.
We'd be well sorted!

economical racism? ... that's a first.
Does anyone know anyone earning over 150K?
isn't the 50% on on the amount over 150K?
it's a political rise (i.e. slowly changing the economic status quo) and will actually bring fuck all money in.
- moth0
Even Carver didn't earn that much.

£34.59 worse off
