Thanks Kizzy, I feel his frustration!

The one thing that most people don't have a great deal of understanding of is tax. For most us, our only concern about tax is our own personal tax code, NI contribution and council tax, but if we are going to have any chance of understanding how this Labour government can pay for everything in their manifesto, we need a better understanding of how tax can work in our favour.

We don't need a degree in mathematics to do this; its simple maths we learnt at school but something the right wing tabloids don't want to remind us about. We don't need some magic money tree because the simple truth is, If we increase spending, (something the Tories can't do because they are constantly driving down productivity) we generate more tax, the government gets a return on its spending, we get more employment opportunities and can afford all the things that are being promised by the Labour party.

My frustration is; this is simple economics and the Tory's have the audacity to make it all look like a pipe dream.
