I'll tell you how broken our economy is... if you raised basic rate tax to 30% (which is really then 41% with N.I.) then
it would still take until 2020 to repay the national debt we now have.....  Oh for those gold reserves that the idiot Brown sold off cheaply and at the wrong time....

how does the nation being in debt really affect us though?

i know we have to reapay that at some point, but how much does it matter if its in 2020 or 2090?

you cant raise the basic rate by 10%, it would cripple the working class
