You link doesn't work.

2. It strongly defends tax havens.
As long as everyone's paying the same percentage, that doesn't matter.
Quote:
3. It means local authorities will have to depend on 50% of their income from local tax. Fine if your a council for Chelsea but not good for a Barnsley council.
So local councils will have to spend money gotten from the area? Sacre Bleu.
Quote:
4. It wants to make cuts in healthcare and no longer invest in schooling so the money average earners think they are going to save is going to be more than swallowed up in paying for services that are presently free.
It who? What's that got to do with a flat tax rate?
Quote:
5. It wants to abolish benefits and depress wages because the government assumes that the market will always produce jobs if wages are low enough!
It who? What's that got to do with a flat tax rate?

The TPA is callous. Its a con and it relies on lower paid workers believing they will be better off. They won't, they really won't. The last thing its got anything to do with is equality.
Who?
