Do You Really Want This Imbecile

in charge of the countries finances ?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/labour/9934228/Ed-Balls-cut-tax-to-boost-economy.html

and how exactly will you fund those cuts ?

let me guess, for starters hike VAT to the sort of levels the EUSSR wants us to introduce, 25%,
These idiots would give you a new meaning of hardship and austerity, but just as in the past with labour people will this time fall for the edballschit.

i imagine the press cant wait for him to be chancellor, they've all got their balls up headlines and bylines sitting there straining at the leash on thier macs

Doubtful that the tax cuts he is proposing will be funded by hiking VAT -since VAT is the tax he wants to see cut.

And he is not alone in calling for tax cuts - more than a few Tory MPs are saying the same thing.

Even Osborne seems willing to countenance tax cuts - sseemed happy enough to cut the top rate of tax from 50p to 45p for instance, because we were assured the country would not miss the 2 billion or so, and such a tax cut was bound to help with kickstarting the economy.....

Ed Balls the man that was an advisor to Gordon Brown as chancellor , the man who put the rate of tax up to 50% just before leaving office.

They may well reduce income tax, extremely unlikely (good lie to get votes)but theyd skyrocket everything else they possibly could and you will be far worse off that is the only certainty with letting them ruin, oops meant run the country !

It might be worth trying his ideas simply because the current ones aren't working very well either, are they?

I think the truth is no-one who is in a position to run this country knows how to do it. And, for that matter, no-one else does either.

We have an imbecile in charge at the moment. Everything he has done has made things worse, and his argument is that this proves that he must continue to do exactly the same things. Obviously he's never heard the expression "when you find yourself in a hole..."

As over 50% of what we buy comes from overseas reducing the VAT is only half way there. We need a budget that encourages consumers to buy things produced in this country. Giving help to first time house buyers is a good step.

Another method not yet tried is to help with deposits and free from VAT for those workers in car plants so they can buy the cars they make here in Britain. This applies both to white and blue collar workers. They already get a discount from the company so the offer will be too good to miss.
