Since the other local income tax thread just degenerated into utter bullshit, I'll post this here..
The lib dems have a handy little gadget that will roughly calculate if you would be better or worse off under local income tax. it is located here -

For me it said
Gee. I'm so happy for all the lower income households. That's why I work hard, so that I can pay more

Your tax bill would be higher than under Council Tax. You would pay £311 more per year. Many lower income households would benefit

In the big scheme of things £311 isn't that much extra throughout the year.
Its fairer all round.
That's because I'm under the minimum tax bracket on my earnings now, and am still paying half my council tax.
Mist is quite capable,I think,of giving £311 to "the poor people" if he chooses to do so.Is it necessary for a bunch of thieves to pick his pocket,with the added threat of violence,and do it for him?A strange definition of "fair".

The gadget ain`t Charles Kennedy judging by his performance at the press conference answering questions on the same.He looked like he was auditioning for the part of Vicki Pollard.

I guess you'd be fine at answering questions a couple of nights after fathering a new born baby ay?
And thats progressive taxation i think you here. Not everyone can afford everything. I bet you wouldnt complain if you were on the poverty line ay "seeker"
First I`d need to know what,factually,is the "poverty line",should I ever find myself on it ?
Can ANYone afford EVERYthing?
What,factually,is "progressive taxation" ?

That's true, not everyone can afford everything. But just because I earn a certain amount doesn't mean I can afford everything either. It sure as hell doesn't mean I can afford the exact same everything as my next door neighbour (for example) at a higher price.
woot! TheSite.org is now offically backing the LibDems (just kidding
Or, is it paid in the same way as council tax, by the household, rather than the individual? If it's per household and it's paid like council tax then I'm all for it!
Are you klintock's clone?
I don`t think so :chin: Why do you ask?
seeker
Should I say "Thanks for the compliment" ?

Your still full of shit, Blagsta.
Idiot?
I told you, it's up to you what you do mate.
No customers here, but I am back anyway, mainly because it's fun.
You are completely correct about everything Blagsta old chum. Good luck to you the next time you stick your hand in your pocket. Use the stuff or don't it's still your choice.
What evidence have you got for this "in a huff" stuff?
I did get worried I admit. The thing about doing what I do is that it's fucking lonely and there is a very simple soluton to the problem I present.
My best defence is to rope others into doing it too. I may also make some cash that way. (Not from you obviously, you like paying "tax".)
Still - up to you Blagsta old chum.
BTW, did you read any other "Klintock" threads from google?

How about looking up the words for "It's different for girls?"

She said - I can’t believe it
You can’t - possibly mean it
Don’t we - all want the same thing
Don’t we?
Do behave, Blagsta.
Stay on topic or start your own thread.
Bloody hell, just shows what a bloody rip off my London council tax is, I'm still not sure how they explained away 20% increases year after year. Gits.
