All citizens earning over £1,000,000 gross per annum will be subject to a 70% tax on all earnings above this. The purpose of this bill is to prevent the country going bankrupt

im not sure whether to support or not...

on the one hand it could help the economy by improving significantly (and indeed rescuing) the government sector

on the other hand it could damage it slightly by reducing incentives to work

p.s. i thought u were right wing - a true right wing person would prefer to see society, health, the environment, education etc. collapse than increase taxes

I don't think he is really right wing, he just wants to be crowned king.

This wouldn't be able to cover all the government's funding problems, but it's a start...

I'm voting against this though - it'll remove any incentive to achieve and all the rich people will just flee abroad.

I'm serious! When Harold Wilson's government slapped a massive income tax on the rich, the rich and famous just left.

A crisis? Just the one?

Anyway, I don't see why people should get taxed more for earning more.

That is not right.
