FF/FG/Green Government - Part 3

So we're getting yet another budget where spending increases dwarf tax cuts from, tries to stop laughing before posting, RIGHT WING parties (as an aside do people really believe that or is it just that they're so extreme left that it's just a case of even the current parties are not left enough for them)

For any private sector top rate tax payer don't bother following the news on budget day, we already know what will happen 1) you won't really benefit from the increased expenditure as most will go on public sector pay and welfare. The rest will simply make running the country more expensive with absolutely no improvement in services 2) your marginal rate of tax will remain at 52% 3) you will get a modest tax cut but (yet again) it will not be anywhere near as much as a welfare recipient receives in headline rate increases and other increases to benefits

Unfortunately we also know 4) many top rate tax payers will continue to vote FG in the forthcoming election while complaining about the above (I work and socialise with many of these people). News for you - stop complaining about getting what you vote for (again I work and socialise with many of these people).

And before anyone says "I vote FG but not for that" or "but the left/SF" (delete as applicable) I'm afraid you can't get the Selma killing policy without the Bart killing policy. Vote for whomever you want but own what you're voting for. You'll never get right of centre by settling for what you perceive to be "least left"
