| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Anyone paying increasing tax is subsiding both pensioners and benefit claimants.
No one else is getting a 10% pay rise. That’s not to suggest someone on state pension alone should be penalised, just that rises should be limited above a high income threshold. The current situation for younger workers is horrendous. And although anyone may have ‘paid in for years’ that’s not covering the burden. Unless we start applying proper taxation to companies and high earners who seem to avoid the burden the rest of us have, then this inequality will remain. And I too hope to retire before too long. |
Don't forget that many, possibly the majority of people receiving the state pension pay income tax, VAT and other taxes. |  | | |

That's why means testing is needed. If you were on an old final salary scheme, taking early retirement in a semi worth 400K that you paid 40K for then you are being subsided heavily. In a 100K Valleys Terrace on State Pansion then you need the safeguard. No one is taking money away-the triple lock gives pensioners a much bigger rise than public sector workers and almost all non state pensions are linked to some form of CPI.
No wonder they vote Tory. |
I worked for 42 years and paid my taxes, now retired and still paying tax, the triple lock is going to give me a whopping extra £57!. a month |  |

Which will at least pay for the extra energy costs.
Suggested the average tax payer will lost £15k in income over the next three years. May as well had Peter Ridsdale in charge with the level economic mismanagement.
The wealthiest are largely unaffected. | | | |

£50 per month is about how much energy bills will go up in April. You may have enough over for a portion of chips. | | | |

It is what socialism is all about. We borrowed billions during covoid to keep 12 million in work (on furlough). Now every taxpayers has to pay a little more tax to repay the debt. | |

Yes, and there were people shouting loud for more handouts than those that were given. |  |

The 45% band has been expanded so more of the well off will pay more tax.
The minimum wage has been raised though it's still a scandal that it's for over 23's.
Energy bills are still a problem and many will suffer.
The triple lock, the benefits rise, they are good but still too little after energy costs because the rise in bills will be a larger sum than 10% on benefits.
It's a step in the right direction but only a baby step. | |

The covid bill wasn't just about furlough though was it? £32 billion on a failed test and trace system as well as god knows how much spent on corrupt PPE contracts. Even before Covid the national debt was horrific and getting worse.
Also, this budget is not just about the Covid bill or even the 'global pressures' that every Govt minister keeps trying to bang on about. Nobody was talking big tax rises or huge spending cuts 2 months ago. This budget is attempting to repair the damage done by the disastrous previous budget which crashed the economy. Every economic measure shows the UK at the bottom of the list with ordinary people paying the price for a failed ideology. | |

Wrong as per, the tax payer has to pay for the monumental f,up's your butties at Downing street have wasted on giving their butties billions of pounds worth of contracts that produced pure unadulterated useless crap, in any other business those involved would be slopping out in at least one of the Kings hotels.
You obviously begrudge the fact that 12million kept their jobs then? where would the country be now without the furlough for those 12 million? take your blinkers off, for god sake. |  |

Now you're on the right track and that has nothing to do with the people who have worked all their lives and are now drawing their pensions. | |

I was one of those 12million and I'm extremely grateful for it as well, as I was terrified at the time, with a clinically vulnerable sibling at home, due to the type of work I do I was in a high risk or contracting Covid, I eventually did catch it but that was last Christmas, but we were all vaccinated by then, but I still of course, isolated myself from the rest of the household. | |

Hence my old age pension is £40 less a week | |

Sorry to hear about you NI stamps. But it's a warning for everyone to check well in advance of retirement, take nothing for granted. It's no help to you mate, but hopefully it will help someone. | | | |

DWP told me about maybe 6yrs ago that I've paid all my quota in, yet I'm still paying it in, how the f do they work that out, baffles me, I should be able to retire now, but for my habit of not being able to keep a quid in my pocket without spending it, Im better these days, but that horse as already bolted. | |
