I agree.
Quote:income tax - make it a flat percentage over a certain 'living' wage
So the less well off end up paying a bigger proportion of their disposable income whilst the wealthiest get a nice bonus?
Quote:Cease child benefit.
Why? Is this "If you can't afford kids, you shouldn't have them" attitude to stop the poor from breeding??
Quote:Re-introduce married person transferable tax allowances.
Fine, provided same-sex couples count as "married".
Quote:Cease tax free schemes like ISAs
Again, why? If you want things simplified, how are these complicated? There's no need to account for the interest on your tax return and the providers don't have to collect tax and pay it to the government.
Quote:Flat rate VAT - remove the anomalies like a lower rate for kids clothes, safety equipment, food, on and off-premises milk!
So, again, the poor in society get hit disproportionately hard as their children's clothes, their food, their heating and so on take a massive hike.
