I am pretty sure those figures are correct and if we go back to the last budget these increases can be offset with the reduction in basic rate of income tax from 22p - 20p. I guess I am old fashioned and a socialist at heart. I do not see anything wrong with the more well off in this country getting us out of the shit. To me 35k wage is alot, unless you have a huge mortgage then its plenty to live on  Im gonna duck after ive said this, but Im interested to hear people thoughts. A huge amount of the credit crunch has been caused by people borrowing more than they can sensibly afford. Admittedly it should never have been available to them. Not many of these people earn over £35k. Not trying to offend/upset anyone, just playing devils advocate.

National Insurance is going up, makes everyone poorer.
Not correct.. The changes mean that someone earning £40,040 or more will pay £3,803.80 a year in National Insurance next year, compared to £3,260.40 this year - an increase of £543.40. Those earning below £35,100 will pay marginally less than this year. Personally anyone earning over 35k can take the increase hit  Are you sure about this? I thought i read that the increase would make anyone who earns over 19.5k worse off. Lol, could argue about your last statement all week long!

Was a joke about 3 months ago.
The government put an end to that.
They have now started to make it worse, everything they plan on doing is going to ensure that this gets a lot worse.
2.5% reduction in VAT, makes no difference to the public, or 75% of businesses.
Costs the government billions.
National Insurance is going up, makes everyone poorer.
