Petition update, 12 August 2008

More details from petition creator

The abolition of the 10% tax band will cause huge hardship to poor families and pensioners.If your income is below £18,000 a year your tax liability will double.You will have no chance of enjoying the new 20% lower tax band.This means the poorest of society will shoulder a much higher ratio of tax than those better off
