Raise taxes for those who can afford to pay more

So what’s wrong with asking those who can afford to, to pay a little more?

Tomorrow many of us are going to exercise our franchise to vote in the local and European elections. Is what we’re doing or who we’re voting for going to make a difference? The chances are that it will not.

However, it will present an opportunity for those who cannot take any more of the continuing austerity policies that have decimated our economy to take a pot shot at those in power. These policies may have been driven by the troika but they would not have been implemented if this or the previous government had any better solution. They still do not.
