Joe Hall's endorsement and reply

"Thank you for your email -- we definitely need a fairer tax system. It can seem like a big, abstract system but it makes an enormous difference to people's lives. I think your ideas are very much along the right lines and I would broadly support all three.

Please see my manifesto at http://www.joehallforluton.com/ for more ideas about fairer taxes and how to rebalance our society -- we need to get serious with the banks too, and we need to support the right kind of long-term investment in our society like education, activities for young people and mental health care rather than building more prisons for example. We know already what many of the solutions are for our society -- now we need the courage to make them our priority".

Do you agree in principle with the aforementioned policy?*
*no commitment to act upon the policy

In a generic sense, do you believe that the rich should pay more tax and the poor should pay less tax?

If you are elected as an MP, do you pledge to campaign for income tax reform at the next parliament?*
*not necessarily as specified with the above policy
