ON SUNDAY

EARLIER this month, Britain’s confectionery firms reacted with fury after it emerged that a new sugar tax was expected on sweets and chocolates by 2020.

The new levy will be announced by spring next year.

It’s the latest attempt to try and stop Britain sinking under the weight of its slobbering fatties.

Because it is an established fact that taxing something reduces its appeal. Look at cigarettes and alcoholic drinks – taxed to the hilt to try and stop us overdoing them.

So, if things are taxed heavily to try and dissuade you doing them, why is hard work taxed more heavily than sitting on your arse?

Earn over around £ 12,000 a year and the government takes 20 per cent off you.

Work harder, and 40 per cent of anything over £ 46,000 is whipped out of your pay packet.

If you really slog your guts out and earn over £ 150K, Chancellor Phillip Hammond will help himself to 45 per cent of that.

How in the mad, mad world of all that’s bollocks, can that make sense? The harder you work, the higher proportion of your money is stolen by the State.

Lefties will say, “Oh, but the rich should pay more tax.” THEY DO, you f** king morons! Someone on an £ 80,000 salary will pay more in tax than some scrote in a squat who does nothing more than wave Socialist Worker placards in the High Street every Saturday.

In fact, the person on £ 80,000 is paying various dossers, idlers and spongers to whinge about “Tory cuts”.

And here’s a thing – the top ONE PER CENT of earners pay a whopping 27 PER CENT of ALL tax in Britain.

Those hated fat cats feed, clothe and house the unwashed, unshaven, whingeing cretins who think that Jeremy F** king Corbyn is the Second Coming.

Yes, I know we all need to pay into the pot for our schools and hospitals, etc.

And this is not a “rich people are lovely” rant. I know some and they tend to be smug, dull c** ts.

But the well- off are not the enemies of this country.

The enemies are those Marxist bigots who think everyone should be pulled down into the shit.
