hilltop Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 My parents are over 60 but have not retired. My father is a top-rate taxpayer. My parents don't need the winter fuel allowance to heat their house in Kensington. They don't need free travel when they have a Maserati parked outside. They are currently on holiday in Italy on their yacht. I find it morally wrong that low-income workers are taxed to subsidise my parent's lifestyle and I'm sure my parents would agree. So they can afford to pay a higher rate of income tax and a wealth tax. That will level things up and they will not feel so bad about their benefits.

EUBanana Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 So they can afford to pay a higher rate of income tax and a wealth tax.

campervanman Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Means test everything. I bet they u-turn when the pensioners rebel though. The welfare system is a way of life and that needs exstinguishing... you can not breed unlimited on benefits and keep expecting someone else to pay. Yes. All those pensioners keeping warm anf breeding. Stamp it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
