Far too sensible a solution

General secretary Brendan Barber said: "There is real concern that the Government's programme of deep spending cuts while our economy is still fragile will spark spiralling unemployment in both the public and private sectors.
"As the cuts start to bite and people see the public services they rely on every day under threat, people will begin to ask whether there is an alternative to slash and burn economics.
"The answer is that an alternative strategy - based on growth, employment and a rebalanced economy, and paid for by a fairer tax system so that those who caused the recession start to pay their share - is the best way to achieve a sustainable economic recovery."

Those who caused the recession ? How are they intending to single those people out ? or is it the usual rubbish that everyone who earns over a certain amount should pay a higher percentage of their income as tax ? A fairer tax system would mean everyone pays the same % of their income as tax, whether you earn £100 a week or £10k a week.

Re: Far too sensible a solution

Think they mean the banks and such as they that caused the recession
I don't think they are meaning a higher rate of tax for big earners just that the big earners cant use their big earnings to help them with tax evasion
