Labour have tried to use the Tory reduction of the top rate of tax as a class war stick to beat them with. But this attack relies on a lack of understanding amongst the general population. Really, at the end of the day, the economy wants rich people to be setting up businesses that then employ people. The rich should be spending their money and redistributing it that way.
High levels of tax on the rich is political, punitive and usually pointless, as they can afford to find ways to avoid it. But it is an excellent class war battle cry. Though I do wonder how long it would last, if these die hard, unthinking Labour supporters were told that half of their £10 million lottery win was going in tax. £5 million pounds is a lot of money, but not when you 'won' £10 million. And the government wouldn't have even bought a ticket for their 'guaranteed' win!
No, the way we look at tax today is entirely wrong. We should not be clamouring for the rich to pay more (often based on the feeling that we are already paying more than our 'fair share'), but instead clamouring for the reverse. If you earn £20,000 then fuel prices will be a big concern to you and seem oppressive. If you earn £100,000 they won't.
So even at a very basic level, the poorest are paying too much for everything. And it is almost always the government's fault. They get too cosy with the energy companies and fail to regulate properly. They do too many things, all demanding funding which means high taxes.The common Man is the easiest and most numerous source.
Today, all of us I'm sure would love to 'avoid tax', to reduce its burden. I think some hard working families would probably even consider 'illegal' avoidance, so desperate are things becoming. So it is no wonder these people clamour for Porsche drivers to lose some of their wealth. This socialist view has become ingrained. The desire not to do well, but to inhibit others, to seize wealth where it exists, to 'rub their noses in it'. Not to achieve but to deny.
Yet consider the popularity of the lottery and the overwhelming number of players who come from poor environments. Clearly they would have no problem with wealth, should they themselves come into it. Envy is not a quality we should regard with any ease in our politics and yet it is the sole purpose of the Labour Party, to stoke up envy amongst their supporters.
Ed Balls is no believer in the politics he espouses. As much as any he seeks benefit from his position as a politician and uses device, artifice and not a little mendacity to avoid tax and increase his take from the taxpayer. Like any conman, he relies on gullibility to line his pockets.
The answer is to re-educate the taxpayers, so they can then demand that the government becomes what it is intended to be; small, but of consequence, honourable and undemanding. In the Telegraph today David Cameron says he will not rest until people have control of the choices and chances in their life. This will come as a surprise to most people, who will be totally unaware he is working in this direction.
Indeed, on this front, it would have long ago been believed that Cameron was reclined luxuriantly on a chaise longue in a pleasant home called Mon Repose. Had it been something of the utmost national importance it could not have been more secret, more unknown. Most people, if they could discern any direction, felt vaguely that he is committed to the destruction of the UK by slavishly following the diktats of his EU masters.
His supposed policies are androgynous and evoke the same passion. He quietly signs EU documents and loudly pursues unhelpful policies to please small, usually noisy homosexual activists. He has time he finds, to take up the moral fabric and endlessly pick away at it. The Greatness of Britain is a stain, in his mind and must be done away with forever. It is no wonder David Cameron is negative about things in general; he lives in a reverse of the real world.
Where is his restless plan to shrink government and hand back this country to its people? He promised it, he still does when reminded, but he has not lifted a finger to bring it about. How could he, when he so fervently believes in the central control of an EU superstate. The antithesis of local government (let alone good government!)
Must we rise up David Cameron before you heed us? Must the British people once again cast off tyranny and 'save the world'? We have Galloway on the rise so time is short perhaps. He offers political focus for those who would do violence in our midst.

David Cameron - An Open Letter
Dear Mr. Cameron
I know you decided to put on a Conservative tie and that you had what is often referred to as a good start in life. This, I hoped would make you a useful Prime Minister at a time of great need in the country, we have after all, just had a Labour government for 13 years -there was bound to be much that needed repairing. But those dogs of economics have run amok and left us with more than a shrivelled economy and low morale this time. Gordon Brown has wrecked the country to its core, with the added depth of Blair's immorality.
We needed clear thinking on growth and strong leadership, which are traditional Tory strengths. This you might realise is where things get difficult, as I am sure you are aware yourself, you are no traditionalist.
Mr. Cameron, politics is intended to be the servant of the people, it is designed to facilitate the best ordering of national affairs for the benefit of the people in general, one might say in Britain, for the Queen on behalf of her subjects. Somehow, politicians have come to see themselves as a kind of class apart, a natural elite who rule. A group that makes decisions because that is their job, based on political considerations alone. Whilst voters are needed, those considerations usually have a cynical angle, to gain those votes when required.
This has led to what is called the Westminster Bubble, where politicians only talk to each other and make decisions based on the outcome for that group. Debates in parliament, such as they now exist, are merely sport for winning points in some academic game, rather than the serious business of running the country. If I may at this point introduce a notion you may find shocking, the aforementioned is what the nation pays you to do. If you wish to play childish games of name calling then please confine it to your leisure hours.
It is clear you have come to believe that your election is dependent on socialist values and so you enact the inane energy policies demanded by left activists, you borrow more when we need to cut back and you shrink from the loud, but pointless shouts of the left about any 'cuts'. It is precisely because these people are believed when they shout that needs addressing, by strong leadership that achieves real results. Results these malefactors are telling the population are not achievable under Tories.
These people have demonised Margaret Thatcher and talk of her in the most disgusting terms, waiting to unleash a most unedifying orgy when she passes. Do you believe she deserves that? Of course not, it is just a position that the left are pushing; comedians routinely refer to how bad Thatcher was but couldn't tell you why. To repeat empty junk fed by political agitators on the left doesn't make it true. But much of our lives is currently blighted by just such shouting down, using political correctness as a weapon most often.
This is damaging our country, it is a major reason for much that is wrong and we must reverse it. It is in fact just an extension of getting the Tories labelled as the nasty party. Was that ever even remotely true? No, except with regard to the infighting by the wets in the party, people who today have far too much influence on you. Why do you think you didn't win a clear majority? Why do you think the Lib Dems are so hated? People want a Conservative Party to bring back prosperity and pride to the UK, not the left leaning nonsense you cleave too. Whether from advice or personal disposition your current instincts are wrong. What does your education tell you to do? Don't rely on experience, you don't have any. Try listening and I mean listening to someone outside the Westminster Bubble.
I remain, a humbled taxpayer
