Hard Labour

Labour has unveiled radical plans for a £1 billion tax raising drive that would see Scots earning more than £60,000 facing hefty hikes. Taxing pubs more heavily will just lead to less of them and a drop in revenue as people are disincentivisedtogoout.do politicians never consider the basic economic theory of price elasticity and demand?

Stewart Kirkwood Great ideas from labour. the S np don’ t like it because they prefer stealth taxes and taxes on the hard working individuals.

Stuart Smith Because of previously bad council decisions, not related to austerity, my council has decided that it’ s much better to cut or reduce many of its services than reduce its workforce or its total wage bill. in contrast to the private sector, the public sector doesn’ t get punished for bad decisions. poor decisions and performance only lead to a call for more taxation. when there ward for failure is to be given more money, there’ s no incentive to ever do a good job. The call for more taxation will only lead to greater economic harm, poor er people and communities; with a continuing decline in the delivery of public services.

Francis Ferguson Tourist taxis point less as no one will visit scotland as all the pub sand clubs will be shut.

Max Macpherson Branch manager of small minority party says something ...next!

Brodie Williams And it will never happen, just like their building of houses.

Mike Urquhart Won’ t make any difference as Labour will never be in power again anyway.

Kev Neilson It is the companies that make huge profits that leave theuk (Amazon, star bucks, ebay etc with their creative accounting) that should be taxed properly, not the employees. cant spell polotics

If labour want more money to spend, they need to get the economy working; get more people into real jobs. taxing to death those who’ ve worked hard at school, at college or university or whatever post school education they’ ve pursued, worked hard at their careers, will simply drive many of the high-earning occupations elsewhere, and take the middle income jobs they support with them.
