[quote quote=145098]There are many people who genuinely claim benefits but what would the percentage increase in council tax have been if the scrounging element went to work and paid their own way in life?[/quote]
It would be even less if the tax dodging elite paid what they should be.
Surely, by now you’ve realised that the media spin driven by Cameron (The son of the man who pretty much started the offshore tax avoidance gig) was all a front to divert the attention from the super rich to the poorest/needy people in society?
Yes the system is abused by some and that should be addressed but make sure you point the finger at all who are to blame, not just who the Daily Mail tells you are.
[quote quote=133041]you really do confuse people — your first post on this — not sure which way I am going to vote — then the funny picture at the end.
Obviously you don’t appear to support hard working common people like AA who wish to aspire to better things.
Have you met AA? — maybe you should so you know who and what you are talking about.
[/quote]Nothing really confusing about someone not being sure how to vote.
I have never met AA so I cannot comment on him specifically, all I would say is that it will be very hard for a member of the Conservative Party (whose agenda and manifesto was to offer tax savings to corporations in favour cuts to public services) to offer any real support to hard working common people.
Unless he is a man of his principles, like a certain Labour leader, he will no doubt follow the party line when it comes to anything substantial.

[quote quote=132542]You’re in cloud cuckoo land if you think you will be paying less, who’s going to set the size to be taxed? will all those older council houses with large gardens be hit, course they will. This typical Labour politics of envy in that anyone with a large garden must be wealthy.
[/quote]Is there any evidence of this or is it pure assumption?
It sounds like the fear mongering being pushed in the Tory friendly papers like the Daily Mail & the Sun??
[quote quote=132513]What about the “hit” Landlords will take?
[/quote]From what I’ve read the value of the land is being judged solely on the land itself, not what is placed/developed upon it. (Please correct me if I’m wrong)
If landlords currently have tenants the tenants would be paying the council tax directly and this would be the same if the system was to move to a new Land Value Tax system.
With the possibility of the payments decreasing if the value of the land is set lower.
This is similar to how you can currently request the council to re-band your home if the current tax level is incorrect or house prices in your area have lowered.
**As per other forum thread**
The “Garden Tax” is the name the Tories have come up with so people with a garden think the are going to be charged more tax.
The actual idea is to rethink the way land value is assessed. This could actually lead to people paying less council tax as the current banding scheme would be either changed or replaced.

on the GARDEN TAX?

More info can be found Here & Here[quote quote=132485]yes a good point about Labour’s “proposed” increase of Corporation Tax to 26% when the Conservatives intend to decrease it down to 17% to stimulate growth and create jobs;
I think of all the thousands & thousands of small 1 Director Limited Companies supporting a small number of employees in each Company nationally that have a relatively low profit margin and now they could
be looking at a 9% TAX INCREASE across the board. — hm. — someone’s going to lose out — bye bye jobs.— Labour working for the many — not.
Oh and if minimum wage goes up to £10 per hour bye bye more jobs.— hm food for thought.
[/quote]Please review This Site The 26% rate will only apply to larger companies, smaller companies will only see an increase to 21%.
The current level of 19% has done nothing to stimulate growth or create jobs, all it has done has increased share holders dividends, so how will and extra 2% drop help the majority of people?
The “Trickle Down” method does not work as the savings are not being passed on and it is ridicules to think this will change if they are allowed to generate even larger profits.
If the minimum wage goes to £10 then more people will have extra cash to spend, so it could actually increase revenues (glass half full)
[quote quote=132483]
I would ask the ordinary voter to weigh up all these postings on social media and on Thursday vote for change in Wrexham —
[/quote]This general election is not limited to just the local area, this is a chance for everyone to make a difference to the UK as a whole.
When you read the manifestos for each party there is only one who is proposing changes that would radically improve this country.
Austerity cuts have not worked and the UK is in more debt than before the cuts began.
We need to stop providing lower corporation tax at the cost of cuts to publicly funded services.
How can anyone say it’s better for a company to save a bit more money to reward to their shareholders, than it is for them to pay a bit more (still less then most other countries) and provide much needed services for the sick & elderly?
[quote quote=132343]You can detest them, but without them there would have been no referendum and therefore we would still be in the EU,(ok we are not fully out yet) David Cameron would still be prime minister, & there would be no 2017 election, they have had the biggest influence over Politics in this country for a generation.
Although have to agree they were pretty poor over the above issue.
[/quote]Possibly giving them a bit too much credit there, they picked up where the BNP left off and pushed the “Coming here, taking our jobs” nonsense.
They had no influence over David Cameron’s decision to quit if the UK voted to leave the EU or over Theresa May’s decision to hold a general election early.
Since Nigel Farage stepped down they have been even more useless and have no real purpose or policies.
