1) a 50% super tax on the ultra rich of the country, that is people who earn £100,000 or more. £35,000-£100,000 taxed at 25%

2) This extra cash can be ploughed into much more needy causes at the governments approval.

3) People owning more than 20 acres of land, will have their land reduced to 20 acres. The extra land will be redistributed to the cmomon folks to farm for the nation.

Of course, you are exempt from all of this, eh Boo? :tophat: 2 questions: I assume it's £100,000 a year? And s that the amount they earn BEFORE or AFTER the cut? Otherwise they could lower their earning to £99,999.99.

*will dissappear again after questions are answered*

the way things like this usually work is the money they earn over a certain level is taxed 50%

eg if the tax below 100k is 0 and the tax above 100k is 50%, someone with a 200k earning would take home 150k... whereas someone with 300k would take home 200k and someone with a 100k earning would take 100k... this prevents such things from happening... you may wish to adjust the bill to be more along the lines of this...

edit: please note this is just a recommendation...

lol i didnt mean u to copy it exactly lol

usually there is a rate of income tax below 100k as well neway... what i posted was simply a simplification to put my point across

(e.g. 2000-100000 at 25% 100001+ at 50% for example)

This bill has had a lot of posative feedback off my fellow MP's. Its a good bill. They wont repeal it. Unless you make up some rediculous consequence to its passing like "Rich people start civil war" etc.

I can be suprisingly good at passing bills through parliament... I think I can get this defeated.

After all, I was able to pass a proposal called the NHS R.I.P. Bill. ;) :tophat:
