‘Cruel and Greedy’: High Earners on Kwasi Kwarteng Ditching Top Tax Rate

THE GUARDIAN: Seven people in 45% tax bracket that chancellor is abolishing share how they feel about decision

International markets, voters, members of the Conservative party and experts have reacted with dismay to Kwasi Kwarteng’s “fiscal event” last Friday, when the chancellor announced that the top tax rate of 45% would be abolished.

Here, seven high earners who will benefit from this tax cut share how they feel about it, and what they will do with the money. » | Jedidajah Otte | Saturday, October 1, 2022

Lizzie makes Maggie look like the fairy godmother! Maggie’s family background was steeped in Christianity, so despite her being somewhat hard-nosed at times, her Christianity showed through from time to time, too. The same cannot be said for Lizzie. Lizzie is clearly hard of heart: she clearly has a total lack of compassion for the less fortunate. The needy and poor are so obviously off her radar screen. Not much Christianity to be discerned there! Has she even read the Bible, I wonder? Does she have any understanding of its message?

I would urge her to consider the following two verses from the Bible. The same goes for Kwasi Kwarteng:

The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it. KJB Proverbs 29:7

For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. KJB Deuteronomy 15:11

If Lizzie goes on like this, showing no mercy or compassion for the less fortunate, I cannot see her surviving in office for very long. – © Mark Alexander
