Poll: The Budget

[wildman]

Good, 50p gone, replaced with 45p.

Of course jealous people will be up in arms, but it makes no sense and harms the country.

the left will be in the streets of london throwing paving slabs through bank windows when they get wind of this !!!!!

I'm sure I heard it costs more the collect than it even makes. Utter showboating nonsense from the lefties

 

[iamtheoneneo]

the 50p tax was silly anyway - completely OTT amount that didnt encourage anything.

 

[mattyprice4004]

Quite happy about the tax on cigs, they've done a lot of damage in my family so anyone it helps to quit is a bonus.

37p extra on fags. I find it a bit sick that smokers pay so much but then are treated like scum.

 

[Cosimo]

Child benefit limit raised to £50,000

Will be phased out when someone in a houshold has an income of more than £50,000. It will fall by 1% for every £100 earned over £50,000. Only those earning more than £60,000 will lose the entirety of the benefit.

It's a lifestyle choice, if they don't want to pay extra and be treat like "scum" - don't do it.

 

[Hatter The Mad]

Even though I don't fit the typical Conservative image, I'm working class, I feel the country is in more responsible hands than with Labour.

I think more people need to understand how much debt we are in. It can't be sorted by giving hand outs and credits all the time.

The Conservative party, interestingly, has been one of the working class more so than the equivalent Labour movement (remember the Primrose league?)

 

[Glaucus]

Personal allowance from next April, £9205

I find it sick that smokers still exist - its a plague that infects anyone that dares knows or goes near them.
the sooner smokers realise that they HAVE to quit the better and if you cant be bothered enjoy your 37p extra

 

[Cosimo]

This year’s allowance is going from 7,475 to 8,105 and from 8105 to 9205 next year.

A choice that funds a lot of things. Its the Hypocrisy off the whole thing i don't like.

Smokers are not scum. They are stupid.

The companies, now they are scum.

Its a dirty, vile habbit that should be made illegal.

COME AT ME SMOKERS!

[Heliospherez]

Looks like Labour have been royaly *****-slapped in this budget.

I'm actually starting to enjoy the Con-Dems..... and I don't even like Politics

 

[TaKeN]

Personal allowance.. I LIKE THAT.

Fuel duty.. I DON'T LIKE THAT.

Beat me to it!

It's the way it's been for a long time - we pay much, much more in tax than we cost in healthcare, but still get shafted in every tax hike. I don't mind so much - it won't bankrupt me, and with luck it'll put tobacco a little further out of the reach of kids, not to mention driving more people to quit, which can only be a good thing. I just wish they'd wise up to the system, legalise cannabis and tax the hell out of it.

Edit: @imatheoneneo - the sooner you realise that voicing your sanctimonious, ill-informed and purile opinions makes you look like a total tool, the better it'll be for everyone.

 

["andy"]

Lol at saying he's raising cig prices because it's proven that it makes people quit . He doesn't give a crap about peoples health . It's all about the ££££s and taking advantage of people's addiction

If they wanted people to quit for the sake of their health they would outright ban them(tobacco companies have vaporisers and whatnot lined up ) or lower the prices of alternatives

 

[Heliospherez]

Personal Allowance increase is going to sell it to the doubters. It's interesting to compare how positive this is to the negativity that ensued with Labours dozens of stealth taxes that took our money over the years.
