Scottish Green PPC (Glasgow Central),
Alastair Whitelaw's reply
"Dear Colleagues,
Your proposals are actually very similar to those of both the Scottish Green Party and the Green Party of England and Wales so I am happy to support them. However we complement our proposals for progressive taxation with a national income scheme to replace pensions and benefits.
I would personally be a bit tougher and have an even higher rate of 80p per pound for income above 200,000 GBP or perhaps a quarter of a million/year but I must stress that this goes further than Party policy.
The serious effects of the extreme inequality in this country are now well documented and a tax system in which the wealthy pay an appropriate proportion of their income has to be part of the remedy".
Kindest regards,
Alastair Whitelaw,
