hunnymonster said:Very quickly: On the face of it, it seems a well thought out Budget, taking a little off everybody, more of those most able to afford it.
As for the disabled, the problem isn't the genuinely disabled, it's those dolebludgers that are farmed out onto disability living allowance to massage them off the dole figures. If you look at the number of people with a disability, according to government figures, more than 1 in 10 of the general population has a disability! There is no way all of those 6 million people are disabled to the point of requiring assistance. Put another way, if you know 100 people, 10 are disabled. I don't buy that for an instant.

Any opinions at all?

hunnymonster said:Why would it? The only people that actually pay VAT are those charities/companies/organisations too small to be VAT registered and individuals... pretty much everyone else reclaims their input VAT and stiffs the buyer for the output VAT.
