Jeremy Drinkall's reply
"Dear Fairer Tax campaign
One of my main policies is for taxing the rich and multinationals and taking over the banks. This will allow us to spend the billions raised on raising people out of poverty and improving houses, services and benefits and so on.
You can read my manifesto at http://drinkall4vauxhall.blogspot.com/
Therefore regarding your questions: I will fight for a fairer tax system and do believe the rich should pay more and the poor less. I cannot commit to your question one without further study. I actually believe we should have a steeply progressive income tax.
Thank you for allowing me to comment".
Yours
Jeremy Drinkall, Anticapitalist candidate for Vauxhall

The Socialist Party is standing on a platform of socialism (common ownership, democratic control, production for use not profit, and distribution according to need not money) and nothing but. We are not advocating reform of capitalism. The reform advocated by the Fairer Tax Campaign (trying to permanently redistribute income from the rich to the poor) has been tried many times and has always failed because it is undermined by the way the capitalist system works and has to work, as is explained in this article http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/mar10/page17.html. It would be more effective to work for a society in which there will be neither rich nor poor.
