George Osborne should “accelerate” plans to scrap the 50p higher rate of income tax to help the economy during the euro crisis, business leaders will warn the Chancellor.
In a letter to the Chancellor, more than 30 of the City’s top figures agree that the “current turmoil in southern Europe” means that the Government must take “immediate actions” to boost confidence. They call for the immediate scrapping of the 50p rate to attract entrepreneurs to Britain........
Yes - the same business 'leaders' whose pay increased by a whopping, juicy 49% in the last year alone.
The same business leaders complaining that a nurse's pension is 'unaffordable' and who desperately claim the need to be allowed to employ people for far less than the minimum wage.
This really is another golden age of Tory greed. And while big business and the City of London continues to bankroll Dave and his pals, my fear is that this rotten, stinking coalition will continue to quietly acceed to the wishes of its' paymasters.
