Lib Dem PPC (West Ham),
Martin Pierce's endorsement & reply
"The principle of the tax changes you have set out is quite similar to the Lib Dems’ policy, although obviously I would support what’s in our manifesto. I trust you would agree it’s pretty close.
I agree with the principle that the rich should pay more tax and the poor pay less tax. I don’t believe the tax system should try to create total equality of income but it can, and should, be progressive and therefore help redistribute wealth and power, to alleviate the worst excesses of inequality.
Our manifesto includes a clear commitment to reform the income tax system and this is a policy that we intend to pursue in the next parliament. A Liberal Democrat Government would put in place the necessary tax changes in order to raise the personal allowance to £10,000 for the start of financial year 2011-12".
