observer Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Watched an interview with the Shadow Higher Education Minister, who's thoughts were as follows: seems he's worked out that the spendthrifts who've lived on credit over the past 20 years or so are now in their 40s and 50s; and rather than saddling the youngsters with the whole bill for paying off the deficit; these older age groups should be made to pay through higher taxes and an extended working life, by an early increase in the age of retirement - obviously not concerned about the grumpy vote then!

asperity Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 NEWSFLASH!!! We're already having to pay higher taxes and looking forward to a working longer because of Brown's destruction of Britain's pension funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 Shhhhh!!! Brown's hoping people have forgotten that. Both parties are talking of putting VAT up to 20%, I believe. In a very short space of time. Labour have taken us from rich, rich, rich to broke, broke, broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 It is simply the nature of the beast, the Tories will try to cut the deficit (fast), which will mean massive cuts in public expenditure and the conversion of tax-payers into tax-consumers (dole), and the possibility of a double dip recession.

I don't think we have ever been as rich as we think we area.A credit boom fuelled by house price inflation has fooled the public for the past twenty years.
