Higher taxes to pay for Brexit

Should Brexit supporters pledge to pay higher taxes to achieve their dream? Different personal allowances, tax rates etc. Charges could also be imposed on property etc

How much more tax would you be willing to pay, possibly for the rest of your life, to pay for brexit?

The only say you and I have is who our local MP is.

That's it.

End of.

Us plebs can't be trusted with serious decisions like that.

How would you know who voted and which way? In all the votes I have cast, I was led to believe they were anonymous. I'm not entirely convinced though.

Apart from not knowing who votes for what as we thankfully have secret ballots, you cannot punish people for exercising their democratic right in a certain direction.

Would you tax Labour supporters for aspirations to apply higher taxes to some elements of the UK to support their proposals? Or perhaps Tory supporters for using taxpayers cash to elicit the support of the DUP? Or LibDem supporters for asking for an extra penny on tax to pay for the NHS?

It just appears to be a very sad and vindictive proposal to punish those who you don't agree with, doesn't it?

It's not punishment if you achieve your dreams. And it could be viewed as the way to unlock true prosperity in the longer term.

The system presently doesn't support this but there are people who have staked their lives upon living their dreams, so as a hypothetical question, when we've already had some individuals spend £millions of their own money, there are others willing to pay a smaller sum. 10-25% more tax, for example, at the bottom end. Brexit has been counted on to bring substantial wealth back in to the nation's heart. In essence it's a tiny slice of a much bigger pie.

Tell Gordon Brown that I want my Pension Tax relief back. Oh, and Labour voters owe me the difference in selling my gold at bargain basement prices.

Another stupid Remainer thread!

You're a Labour supporter aren't you OP? How about you pay more tax than people who don't vote Labour if Corbyn gets in to number 10 Downing street, so you can pay for the nationalisation of the railways, the banks, Royal Mail and all the other things he wants to put under state control?

No, I thought I'd throw it back at you and see how you like it, if it's applied to you, seeing as it's your idea. Seems you're not so keen on paying extra for Corbyns spending plans.

We already pay extra taxes in Scotland but not sure where the extra money goes to because nothing has improved here

Corbyn is never going to become P.M. - he may have the Looney left's ear, but he's not electable. Before you cite the GE result, that was those who, tactically voted, to stop the far right brexit, which was 'wanted'. Corbyn has not shown, any leadership or statesmanship, at a time when, the country has needed it!

I’d gladly pay higher taxes if it meant we got the things we needed, yes.

All he has to do is watch the Tories tear each other limb from limb and stab each other in the back over brexit and in doing so alienate the public which they are doing a splendid job of at present and corbyn can be elected by default due to the toxic shit fountain that spills forth from the Tories.

Happy to do that, just the same as I'm happy to volunteer my time as well.

In return why don't you stop using the NHS and any other public resource as well. Oh, and if you ever have hard times hope you get told to get f*cked too

Newcastle and Gateshead

they were always going to make us pay more tax anyway to support that statement on the side of the big red bus (and please don't say brexit bonus/dividend.. you'll make me laugh)

funny thing being... if they were truthful from the start and just said "penny on tax/ni and it will all go to the nhs!" i don't think people would mind in the slightest......

I'm not defending the Tories, but stating Corbyn won't be PM. I do accept I could be wrong though - just my opinion!

But it's not is it Fabio, its a penny or 2p on taxes to pay for the property and capital gains tax cuts for the rich. After all that is what all the cuts to the NHS and other government (national and local) budgets has paid for.

Brexit will pay out for the poorest working class, it just won't pay out for the rest of us.

I can't see the Tories getting a majority next time they've become far to toxic with their xenophobic hate filled rhetoric now they've become " kipturd light" and the squabbling like entitled children over brexit is seen as rather pathetic in the eyes of the public.Brexit will destroy the conservatives and quite rightly so.
