Quote from euclid:
So how come, when they cut the tax the number of people declaring earnings >£1m p.a. went back up?
"In the 2009-10 tax year, more than 16,000 people declared an annual income of more than £1 million to HM Revenue and Customs. This number fell to just 6,000 after Gordon Brown introduced the new 50p top rate of income tax shortly before the last general election."
"George Osborne, the Chancellor, announced in the Budget earlier this year that the 50p top rate will be reduced to 45p from next April. Since the announcement, the number of people declaring annual incomes of more than £1 million has risen to 10,000."
nice work -- what the right has is real world facts... tax cuts lead to higher revs... tax increases lead to lower revs.
the left has class warfare.... screw the country for the sake of power.
like Buffett lying his ass off about taxes not being important while he battles with the IRS of a billion in taxes.
