If you look at ,say , an unskilled manual worker on a fairly low income ,with a house , a wife and two kids to support, a quarter of his wages he never sees (Tax & NI ) council tax , VAT and petrol, probably takes another quarter, then utility bills , mortgage , road tax, insurances, kids clothes, food, TV tax . There can't be much cash jingling in his pocket to spend on what he would like, although many seem to be able to smoke and drink .John Major once said , we want to alter taxes so that a working man has some spare cash jingling in his pocket to spend on what he wants. Nothing happened but he did say it!!
