The big tax mess, a little bit too convenient ? (not city at all)

Anyone just a tad sceptical of the latest government move to get millions of tax payers to stump up more money ?
Because iam.

forgot the fact is a shitty rag, its the content of the story that matters, and im very very sceptical about the cons latest blame game trick to tell us we have not been paying enough tax all these years ?
Another excuse to drag more money out of your pockets, yet again the banks get away with murder.
In fact i had a letter through from Halifax last week, telling me that my credit card had gone up from 15% to 20% a 5% hike, in real terms its gone up 25% more than it was, yet the government wont do a thing about that because it doesnt earn them a penny to help the consumer.

If i was a bit younger id have left this dump, the banks run this country with an iron fist and are the only institution gaining from a mess they created.
As for the conservative crack a walnut with a sledgehammer tactic, im just not convinced that they are being anything less than economic with the truth on all fronts regarding anything to do with finance or taxes, everyone can blame labour and brown for a world wide recession, but ive got to say i think the approach they are using is like a blunt blade across the throat of the normal british person.
Im sure when weve got a lawless society and theres massive NHS waiting lists, pot holes all over the road, and massive food costs, coupled with astronomical fuel costs, the coalition can get a few more thousand yards out of the "Labour have ruined our country" argument.

I think this lot are simply moving to fast too soon, and its all going to come crashing down around their ears and ours before long.
I dont know about the rest of your out there, but in my limited experience since they have been in power is that business has been worse on this time last year, plus the output is dropping with orders smaller and less frequent, a pattern i can see increasing in intensity before the year is out.

Id really like to hear your take on this guys and gals, because i dont work in finance but i do get the whiff of stink about a lot of this coming out of the woodwork crap recently.

Oh btw, ive never voted labour in my life believe it or not.
