We should be slashing corporation tax, doubling the VAT threshold, increasing personal allowances, abolishing business rates for high street small firms, reducing national insurance contributions, cutting tax on salary/dividends and PLENTY more. Here's a mad idea - reward hard work, and people might do more of it... It's all about incentives. It really isn't complicated. I sit in Parliament listening to Reeves and Labour MPs - honestly, they have NO idea what generates economic growth. It isn't more regulation, it isn't more quangos, it isn't MORE Government. It's individuals, and it's bloody hard work. Design the system around making that work pay, and we'll end up collecting far more tax. SIMPLE! Stop supporting the indolent and start fostering the productive. Make corporation tax the lowest in Europe. Go for it, undercut them. We should be ruthlessly competitive. This Government's plan? Slapping an enormous tax on employment. What do these fools think will happen? Honestly. If ANY of them had any real business experience, they might understand the consequences of their actions. I've built businesses, created jobs, invested in passionate young people. I've been there and done it. It hurts, and it can be very challenging indeed. We need a Government that even vaguely understands it. This one certainly does not.
