COnsidering how lightly these bastards have got away with tax during "the good years" I'm quite happy to see them on more equitable rations now. Surely the point of progressive taxation is that those who have profited well from society are disproportionately responsible for supporting it.
But then progressive policies would require a progressive government and we certainly aint got that.
Paying an extra 5p in the pound for what you earn over £150,000 is hardly ‘clobbering the rich’ or a ‘supertax.’
