One of the most disgraceful aspects of our tax system is that someone earning more than just £6,475 starts paying tax. That is a key component of the dependency culture. By freezing that already miserable allowance for 2010/11 the Government make the situation worse in real terms. By refusing to increase it even in line with inflation they are particularly punishing low earners.
I've written about the Budget for the Daily Mail online and have highlighted various failings. But having had a chance to look at the Budget papers it is Labour's stealth attack on the low paid that makes me most angry.
