yes I did, read what she said, standard POE socialism, those who earn more should pay more and they do, that's how percentages work. The higher rates bring in very little extra over the standard rates but serve as a deterrant for those trying to better themselves. 20% income tax is plenty. Personally I'd move away from direct taxation anyway. Originally a temporary measure it has become the weapon of choice for socialists to punish prosperity.
All depressing, early electioneering and 10 months to go to the election.
Elections are usually fought by bribing the electorate using on tax cuts or other inducements. The Conservatives (and Labour) are unlikely to be able to offer tax cuts without being irresponsible with the economy.
So they have to resort to spreading false stories about each other.
Cameron does not know Labour's plans, just as Miliband does not know the Conservative's.
Of course Labour are going to call foul. You seem to take that as a sign that there is some truth in the claim. There isn't.

Perhaps if you read the words of the quote with the stress on the word 'should', you might get it, Naomi. In case not, let me explain further. Here's what she says she meant:
"People on middle incomes do pay more tax right now than people on low incomes and that is only right and proper."
In other words, it's their duty, it's what they 'should' do. It refers to the tax arrangements RIGHT NOW not to some FUTURE tax increases.
