Talking shit. It's always been the case and always will be. What do you suggest, Cleaners take home the same pay as bricklayers?
Everyone takes home a living wage will be the starting point.

The pledge to whack up the Personal Allowance and Higher Rate tax band could have come straight from the Lib Dem manifesto
The rich get richer, the most desperate pay the rice - Fairness, tory style. Same old nasties.
Government for the little Englander.
I too would like to now how this is going to be paid for, but I think I can guess. VAT always goes up on the Tory watch and no government ever shows any interest in reducing it significantly, although various Labour administrations have tinkered a bit. Here are the facts:
1973 10% (Tory government)
1977 8% but 12.5% for luxury goods (Labour government)
1979 15% (Tory government)
1991 17.5% (Tory government)
1997 17.5% but reduced to 5-8% for energy saving/smoking cessation and other (Labour government)
2010 20% (Tory government)
And in case he hasn't realised, he's in power now. So why haven't zero hour contracts been abolished already?
So forgive me if I don't swallow the piggy-eyed git's bullshit, hook line and sinker.
Increasing the personal allowance by 20% will benefit the lowest paid far more than the rich.
Yay! That was a big one on my bingo card. I get extra credit because it comes from you too. Cheers, HT!
For me, these two points alone throw my voting intentions into turmoil.
Those with the lowest incomes will not be impacted by that raise.

Very much this. And VAT hits the most poor in society hardest. Taking from the poor to finance the more wealthy. Same old nasty party.
A pleasure. I cannot think of a better way to describe Cameron's inward and backward plans though.
NHS budget protected
But we'll just ignore that the EU has been pressuring member states for years to standardise VAT rates and the most common being 20%. If you want VAT to go down the only way it will happen is if we leave the EU.
That's a shame. Your lack of imagination saddens me.
