A budget for workers and the people! Britain is still one of the world's richest societies. We can afford first-class public services, higher wages, decent pensions and welfare benefits. But most of the wealth is owned by a small minority. The richest one-tenth own £4,000 billion in personal wealth. A 2 per cent Wealth Tax would raise £80 billion a year – twice the annual cuts in public spending. Other measures would raise all the funds needed to make Britain a much better, fairer society: A windfall tax on gas, electricity, oil, banking and drug company monopoly profits. A financial transaction tax on the bankers and speculators. Closure of all overseas tax havens under British jurisdiction. WHAT COULD WE DO WITH THE MONEY?
Reverse the cuts and invest in health, education, housing, public transport and the environment. Increase pensions, benefits and disability allowances and cut VAT. Control gas, electricity and water prices and take all the utilities back into public ownership. Nationalise the banks and direct funds into manufacturing, small businesses, cooperatives and housing. Take the railways back into public ownership and subsidise fares and investment not shareholder dividends.
That’s why the Communist Party says: Resist the unelected bankers’ regimes in Britain and the EU
A budget of the rich, by the rich, for the rich Despite claims to the contrary Gideon Osbourne’s budget will actually see:
The poorest one-third of people will be worse
off – the unemployed, pensioners, single parents, the low-paid and disabled.
Regional pay will depress the economies of large part of Scotland, Wales and England still further.
New motorways and trunk roads will be
privatised – because the government thinks they should be run like the water industry!
Britain will have the lowest taxes on big business
profits among the developed economies – far lower than the USA, Germany, France and Japan.

The rich have been rewarded for dodging the top rate of tax, which will now be abolished in stages. THIS IS A GOVERNMENT WHICH HAS JUST PUMPED ANOTHER £5,000 million INTO THE BANKS AND FINANCIAL MARKETS – while shutting 36 Remploy factories for disabled workers because they make an annual loss of £26 million. But what do you expect from a Cabinet with 22 millionaires in it?
