The Budget for 2010
Posted by: Mick P on 23 March 2010
Chaps
Tomorrow is budget day and it will be interesting to see if Mr darling puts the economy first or whether he panders to the electorate.
My own view is this has to be a very tough budget, keeping our credit rating is a lot more important than our own cash disposal.
I think we need to hit the usual targets
1. 50p on a packet of 20
2. 50 on a bottle of spirits
3. 10p on a pint of beer
4. 25p on a litre of fuel - very tax efficient and green
5. VAT up to 20% across the board. Zero rates to be scrapped.
6. We should leave income tax alone, we need to encourage people to work longer and harder and taxing them will just make them throw in the towel.
We need a sharp refund of cash back into the public coffers and now is payback time. Paying more tax is unpleasant but we need to think of the generations to come. We can ease back in a few years time.
Anyone agree / disagree
Regards
Mick
