That was Thatcher's theory, it didn't work.


Oh really ? That explains why the tax take increased by nearly 50% when

the
60% band was abolished.

It also explains why the top 10% of tax payers are now paying close to 40%
of the overall take compared to just over 20% at the height of so socially
equitable rates of 98%.



But they don't spend more cash.


So what.

Everyone has certain needs, once those needs are met their surplus cash
its in the bank or wherever they choose to put it.


This has what to do with the price of eggs ?
