Angry VAT to increase to 20%?!

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...or-20-VAT.html

OK, I have always hated the government but if they do go ahead with this, I will be HATING them EVEN MORE!
I will SO NOT be voting for the Tories if they want to do this.

Im definatly voting Conservative.

To be honest, how can tax's not go up? The government needs money. If Tax's rise the cost of living doesnt remember, if anything it goes down.

It makes no sense to lower them in the first place, i guess they did the trial thing and realised it didnt work.

Second! the Labor government are trying to get liked by lowering every thing we hate like VAT and Tax, but then sortly realised its not going to work. i personally think that Conservatives have the brain cells to sort this thing out, if they were in power!

Never thought about it that way.

Though in our state I never would've at all.

Yea, well its always been between Labour and Conservative, Liberal Democrats are on the map but not really in the game!

If Tax's go up, people buy less, which effects supply and demand from private companies, meaning they lower the price of everything, so in the end cost of living doesn't change much.

It's rumoured isn't it? IF elected, probably happen, then Conservatives would raise the VAT but no-one has commented on the 'supposed' VAT rise.

Recently were published half-yearly profits of some banks in our country.
While they continue to benefit with billion €, people suffer consequences of crisis.


I know very well whom aid/support all this.
