Green PPC (Wellingborough),
Jonathan Hornett's endorsement & reply
"Dear Fairer Tax Campaign Team,
Thank you for taking the time to write to me, I have answered the questions as below":
Do you agree in principle with the aforementioned policy?*
*no commitment to act upon the policy
Answer - "In principle I do agree with the policy, we need to revolutionise the tax system so that the poor are better off, people on benefits actually benefit from going out to work and that small businesses are supported. The problem at the moment is that high earners continue to earn more and proportionately pay less tax, as is true with large company’s paying less than small businesses proportionately. I’m outraged that the large parties are all in league with this status quo. Let’s get people represented and not just large business and vote for a change".
In a generic sense, do you believe that the rich should pay more tax and the poor should pay less tax?
Answer - "Yes, I believe that the rich and the poor should pay a fair rate of tax after a guaranteed citizens income. Tax should be applied after this and thus the more that you earn the more tax you pay".
Do you pledge to campaign for income tax reform at the next parliament?*
*not necessarily as specified with the above policy
Answer - "I pledge to campaign for a complete tax reform at the next parliament and income tax would be part of this. The Green Party wants a fair society and reforming the tax system is fundamental to this".
