Progressive tax is the greatest scam of all time, it's used to give the middle class all sorts of benefits and progressively extended to the poor. Not to mention VAT which hits a fifth of most consumption.

"The abolition of the 10p starting rate of tax raised most of the revenue to fund a 2p cut in the standard rate of tax.

Instead of Labour moving to ease the burden on those earning the smallest wage packets, it increased it to lessen the tax burden on the rest of the community. It is this injustice that Labour members will be trying to finally overturn in today's budget debate."
