December 12th

It comes to an election time again. Let’s us take a moment to reflect.

Labor is portraying themselves us on the side of poor work man and against capitalism of rich and unjust. Let be honest the rich will not, have not desire of or never will pay more tax. They have too many tax breaks given by politicians who work for them, lawyers to protect their rights, accountants who will make sure they pay less tax as possible. On the other hand, we have the Conservative portraying themselves as protecters the wealthy against socialist money grabbers. The bottom twenties will look for support due to differences circumstances. They can list as low skills workers, carers for family members and many others. If this is just or unjust it is not for the scope of this article. However, these supports must be paid for by someone.

If we go with the newspapers headlines the rich are top 5% and poor are bottom 20%. We are left with 75% of population without represented in the parliament. The middle class have an income range between £30k - £80K live in one of most expensive cities in world with the taxation absurdly high. If we take in consideration income tax, national insurance, council tax, VAT, road tax if you can afford a car, this nonsense clean tax they trying to invent to combat climate change.

Assuming you are on £50k salary, you will be pay somewhere around 50% in tax alone include 9% Student loan (thanks Lib Dem). It is also fair assumption to consider to be paying £1000 for rent or mortgage (if you luck to have one). Now, you have £13k to pay for travel, food, childcare, electricity, gas and water, telephone, internet, TV licence and so on.

I will not blame if you most feel squash between all sides. If you hear Labor proposing increase tax on rich do not back them because this tax will be redirect and paid by you. However, if you hear the Tories want to give you more tax breaks do not accept because they will be just taking away few services badly provided to you. Lib Dem with open door immigration will depress salaries even more. I am child of immigrant myself.

I am sorry if I do not feel enthusiastic going to vote on the December 12th.
