All those things were failing before the tax cut. If we can’t effectively run these things during times of the highest rates of tax in recent history, maybe it’s not a problem we can simplify tax ourselves out of.
Call me a cynical old bastard but I don’t trust either the Tories or Labour to spend my hard earned cash effectively. For the record, I will be voting against the Tories at the next GE, although I don’t think that has anything to do with this debate.
You know what lower taxes can do though? Give me some cash to fix all the cracked plaster and flaking paint on my house, give me enough money to pay the bills and buy some meals that don’t come from the “Tesco’s cheap dinner recipes” website and maybe even have enough money left over at the end of the month to spend on some things that I personally enjoy.
The years since the 2008 financial crisis have been fucking dog shit and you don’t expect me to be pleased that I’m for the first time in a very long time getting to keep a little extra of my own hard earned cash?
Yeah, they were failing due to chronic under funding. So the Tories took the extra taxes labour had suggested to fund the public services and used them to cut our taxes.
Make the most of the extra money, but honestly if you want to see a doctor easily or for the council to keep collecting your trash, those taxes are probably going to have to come back up.
I totally get it, mate. Honestly, no I don’t expect you not to enjoy that bit of extra money, life is really hard right now! I hope the next few months are kind to you and hopefully the next government can do some good work to build the economy and restore some of our faith in the political systems by working, not the line their own pockets and support their father-in-laws business interests but to actually make life easier for regular people.
