    I never said they should, I said it's about more than that.

    I earn ok for the Hull area, work hard full-time in a management job (got a promotion but for a year they've had me doing it on the cheap), I'm trying to save for a deposit for a house and I pay my tax, yet see no investment from a Tory government.

    Many people earn much more than me, pay less proportion of their income than me in tax, and aren't affected by the cuts in general. This is why people like me want a change, it's not about funding layabouts, it's about getting something back and making it fairer.

    So you already pay 40% under a Tory government and are whinging about paying 40% under Labour, which would be no increase at all?

    It's nothing alike what you read in the papers. It's evil propaganda intended to groom and radicalise the vulnerable.

    You're no better than ISIS.

    Aaah yes the good old discourage anyone from working hard to achieve anything so everyone can be just the same.

    What a utopia.

    As far as I am aware, our society has never been equal.

    Hard work isn't exclusive to high rate earners.

    You sound like a Tory.

    Taxes would rise under this Labour.

    They'd have to if they wanted to see through the plans they have.

    Unless that magic money tree is real?

    How about those that wish to help the poor donate money to the various excellent charities around, and those who wish to keep their money for themselves are free to do so?

    There is literally nothing stopping you from helping he disadvantaged if you feel so inclined. Why not just donate the difference in tax which you feel you should be paying?

    It is, it's planted offshore in a huge money forest.

    Unless you earn more than £80,000, in which case, I have no sympathy for you if you have to pay more tax.

    You're right, it isn't.

    You sound bitter about people who earn success.

    In that case it appears that you're the brainwashed one.

    I tailor my replies to the audience, so I'll see if I can find the appropriate pictures.

    Cool, can we opt out of contributing to the military budget?

    I worry about everything not just the IHS, should the present Labour leaders get their hands on the steering wheel of government.
    Bring back Red Ken, at least he had managed to be in charge of something for a few years.
