Unless you see it as we are all productive little rats on a wheel running round for little reward till we drop dead... to be replaced by another rat........

that doesnt make sense? less tax means more money in the pockets of these people on the lower end of the scale and more money to spend in the economy and create more growth?
this is called the mulitplier effect, this increased spending reults in higher revenues at busninesses and higher profits and more tax on higher profits.
sadly the governments strategy totally contradicts itself by raising vat on fuel to 20% that has to be slashed urgently on all goods imho
