Default Raising Taxes

Taxes/tolls whatever you want to call them.

Should the government potentially tax people for wearing in public lets say burqas and the likes?

Belguim have shown their hand and set the standard, but whats to stop the UK making a quick buck on the back of it.

Jews could also be taxed - per item of clothing perhaps

And people that cannot speak english - we'll they're fair game for some taxation too I'd guess.

What are your thoughts?
Millions could be raised - especially from the last suggestion.

Yep - but thats those Irish boys for you.
I agree they should be taxed for knocking on your door too but they're not part of the UK so you'll have to either start another thread of give up on that one.

Now

Back on topic

Who likes the idea of these new taxes?

I can't say for the others, but Catholics operate a 'pay to pray' policy already, what do you think the big gold plate is for

They'd never get away with it & I doubt they'd even try such a "silly" tax ...

It is about time that they all became honest and told us what sort of cuts they intend to make instead of keeping it a secret in case they lose votes over it.

I think most realise what a state our economy is in and hiding that is dishonest of all the parties. There is no way we can escape more taxes and spending cuts if this country is going to have a prayer in avoiding Greece's position. We just have to face up to what is unavoidable. The supply of borrowed cash won't last for ever.

Only 5?

Cut out NI altogether and raise income tax to 25% and 50% for over 50K. Fix personal allowance at 7K 9K and 10K for <65 65> 75> for 5 years.

That is what should be done.

I agree, have been saying it for a while. It will be a bad time for most of us.

That's about right aside from age related pesonal allowance. And VAT to 20%?

It will be interesting what we do actually see from the next government, and a bit of a worry too.
