But higher earners and the wealthy already pay proportionally way more tax already, why try to implement such a blunt tool to raise less than £1billion per year? If you really want to raise some money for the NHS a simpler way would be to Levy a 1 per cent increase in national insurance contributions paid by those over the age of 40 which would generate £2bn, while a rise of 1 per cent in national insurance paid by those earning more than £42,000 a year would generate £800m. It's also crazy that both pensioners benefits and NHS spending are ringenced , it's simply not sustainable... |
