Why Labour don’t get it

On Agenda Labour Party President Mike Williams said:

“Tax cuts are a very sort of blunt weapon to redistribute income”

This sums up everything wrong with Labour. They have no empathy at all for the notion that the money belongs to you in the first place, and allowing you to keep more of your own money might possibly be justified. Incredible.

To make it simple for Mr Williams – tax cuts are indeed not about redistributing income. They;re about letting people keep more of their own income.

Williams also hints that Dr Cullen may now deliver tax cuts in 2008. But even if he does, who will believe him? He announced them in 2005 election year and then reneged and broke that promise. No statement by Cullen on tax cuts can now be treated as genuine. He’s broken his word once already on it.
