Lib Dems Fair on Taxes

Fairness is crucial in all we do, even if times ahead look a little bleak in the short term 'the general public will accept austerity for a time if the burdens are fairly shared' said Vince Cable the Lib Dems shadow Chancellor.

Government that imposes hardship on the majority whilst at the same time rewarding the rich cronies that support it, groveling to tax exiles and non-doms and ignoring the widening inequalities in income and wealth have no place in a modern British society, so why elect or even consider electing a Conservative Government because that is what will happen

This is why the Liberal Democrats will change our unfair tax system, so that its fairer for all, Vince Cable said that 3.6 million people who earn less than £10,000 pa will no longer pay any income tax at all. Pensioners will be £100 better off and the average person's income tax bill will be cut by £700.

Andrew Rankine Lib Dem candidate for Hyndburn said I can hear the Labour and Conservative cynics asking how we will pay for such tax cuts... Well I can tell you ..we will pay for the tax cut by blocking existing tax loopholes that favour the wealthy and taxing their wealth in their mansions worth over £2 million: in other words the people who profited from the boom.

People are not only desperate to see the back of this Labour government. But at the same time they don't want the same old Tories in Government. And make no mistake we all know they haven't changed since Margaret Thatcher, they are exactly the same now.

There is very much an alternative, when the time comes to cast your vote, you have more than one choice, but I believe for a fairer, more accountable and democratic Government you only have one clear choice and that is the Liberal Democrats.
