Portillo said as much in an interview with Andrew Neil yesterday.
Big businesses to get tax cuts, which means you and me will pay for the haves to have more at the expense of the have nots.
He will later make sure that his mates, and their families, with their multi million pound homes, will make a killing out of the slashing of inheritance tax.
I really have to laugh at the people on here who think that Cameron and the Tories are going to make things better for them.
Its amazing that he is able to seduce ordinary working class people into voting for him and thereby funding his handouts to his fellow toffs.

perhaps the "haves" would be happy to pay for themselves. im not defending him nor advocating his candicy, but i am defending tax cuts. should be for individuals too though, across the board.
how is it that you think you are paying for the "haves"? i dont understand how you think you are, so i dont understand how it can be at the expense of the have nots other than not necessarily continuing to give them things that weren't theirs in the first place..

20 % for certain defined ' luxury ' items would be welcome - ie Chelsea Tractors, jewellery , mobile phones, TVs , spirits and foreign holidays would be a good idea.
Who needs expensive mobiles ? Who needs television ?

yeh why not? allow local authorities to spend what they receive too, in the main, with only a slice going to central government. and that's if the tax is even needed at all...
im still not convinced tbh. we are being taxed left right and centre and it doesnt seem to be doing any good.

Tax should be levied in proportion to ability to pay. Unfortunately we have not had a Left Wing Government in the UK for the past 12 years.
Are we assuming Darling won't raise VAT ?

Your right Pompeymike the Tories are always keener on indirect taxation rather than direct taxation (income tax), like the the poll tax, because as you rightly point out this unevenly prejudices the poor and aids the wealthy; after all the affluent in society were the group the Conservative party were set-up to look after in the first place.
Their always promoting the idea of a flat tax rather than one which takes account of peoples ability to pay, if they really believe uniformity is such a good idea why don't they promote a flat wage instead?

if i had millions, i would gladly give more than my share, if it were truly needed, but out of choice not because somebody told me to. they can jog on. flat is fair. and they can especially jog on since it's not needed anyway. get rid of most of those indirect taxes too if you want something from my income and stop spending it all on sht and encouraging people to let the state support them, otherwise you'll get nowt from me. cut the war out too, and the oppressive control-freak system of rules. :)

spot on no moves, that is why NL were Tories wearing red rosettes. Remember Blair smirking before the poster promising to peg the Top Rate at 40% A raft of indirect taxes instead, and then abolished the 10% rate rather than touch the top rate. Nasty Tories.

Its pointless now trying to have any sensible debate with Labour supporters on here. They are so deluded and so willing just to believe the bare faced lies that Brown spouts. I actually hope Brown does win so they get to see exactly what damage he has done.Lets be fair Cameron cant put things right now we are too far gone and our nation is stuffed full of lazy greedy and selfish people. Might as well watch Brown collapse things as to let Cameron try to avoiid the inevitable.

The next few years Budgets will be the same regardless of who wins Red Tory or Blue Labour, and Gordon's "Act" to reduce the deficit by 50% uin four years makes FA difference.
