Lib Dumb

Up until Kennedy was assassinated I'd always held the Liberal Democrats as the viable alternative to the government.

Now they're a complete fucking joke.

Last week Ming announced his new tax plans.

Firstly he intends to dramatically raise the threshold on tax-free income to just under £8000. I worked out that in order to be earning so little with the minimum wage, you'd have to be working less than 30 hours a week. Not being funny but it's hardly an incentive to work your ass of is it? People on low salaries will be reducing their working hours to put themselves under the tax line, thereby earning more money.

His argument for this is that those who earn the least spend a larger proportion of their income on tax. E.g. Council tax. I understand his point but he's completely contradicted it by then taking one of the aforementioned fix rate taxes and increasing it exponentially.

Car tax is stupid as it stands and it's even more stupid the way he proposes it. Just because a car is classed as being a low polluter it doesn't mean it actually is. People think Hybrids are good for the environment but in reality they're much worse.

The only fair system is to scrap car tax altogether and put up fuel tax. The more you pollute, the more you pay. Plus it should reduce government bureaucracy and more imporantly all the bastards that don't bother taxing their cars will have to start coughing up their money like the rest of us.

Well Lib Dem's you've lost my vote, I wonder how many others you've lost?... Not that you had many to start with.
