Liz Truss is a heartless woman. It is clear that she has no feeling for the less fortunate, or compassion. How can it be right to cut taxes for the superrich when young families are struggling to put food on the table for their children? Often, to do so, they have to go to food banks! This in the United Kingdom in 2022! This is morally indefensible; in fact, it is an outrage!
It is high time that our prime minister, whoever it is, and regardless of stripe, concentrate on ensuring that people have adequate money to live each week. Living from hand-to-mouth is not an acceptable aim for them for any prime minister of the United Kingdom in the modern age.
We like to think of ourselves as a Christian nation, however loosely that might be defined. Yet we allow people to go to bed at night underfed and cold, especially in winter. I wonder how many old people will die of hypothermia this winter? I would suggest that it is high time that our prime minister concentrate on eradicating poverty rather than concentrate on enriching further the superrich!
By the way, Madame Truss, cutting taxes for the superrich WILL NOT generate significant growth in the economy. Selling a few more superyachts will do little to shore up economic activity on the high street! If you want to create growth in the economy, you need to put money into the pockets of the lower and middle classes. It is they who will generate demand for white goods, new cars, etc. The superrich will just stash most of it away. Their needs have already been taken care of. Moreover, many of them just take their money out of the country to tax havens anyway.
