Tax-obsessed Labour won't like it... but my radical plan to stop the poor paying any tax AT ALL would benefit every one of us, by LORD SAATCHI

Daily Mail  

Those are the words used back in 1979 when – in the grip of a failing government and soaring unemployment – we masterminded an advertising campaign to propel the Tories back to power. They know there is no incentive to get out of bed in the morning because, after paying income tax and losing benefits, they would be worse off than staying on the dole. It is utterly unjust – not to mention economically insane – that some of the poorest people, who earn £12,570 to £17,000, are forced to pay income tax. All surveys confirm that Britain has felt ‘worse off’ since Labour came to power – and very few people expect things to get any better in the next five years. A report by former Labour Health Secretary Alan Milburn found that in the Yorkshire town of Barnsley, 70 per cent of people claiming sickness benefits said they wanted to work – but only ten per cent were actively in contact with employment services.
