Where's Our Tax Rebate

Start of rant.

Some of you may remember that our, not so Darling, Chancellor took away the lower (10%) tax rate and supposedly replaced it by reducing the 22% rate to 20%.

In his great wisdom he didn't realise that this helped higher income earners and penalised lower earners. :dh: :dh:

When a great fuss was kicked up in the media and in parliament he did the usual U-turn and said he would compensate the lower earners :thmb:. About four and a half million lower earners were disadvantaged by this :roll: so he came up with the bright idea of increasing personal allowances to compensate.

Unfortunately, he didn't seem to realise (he says) that this only compensated a third of them. When it was pointed out to him that there were still 3 million people with incomes between £7,000 and £15,000 that were still out of pocket he said he would make further adjustments.

Has he done it? Like **** he has!!!!!

Come on old Darling - get your finger out! Us pensioners aren't going to let you forget us.

End of rant.

 

Maybe I was a little bit harsh on the poor little Darling :skp:.

NOPE!!! My mistake. I think you got it just right, walnut. :yho::rotfl:
