Are you suggesting they borrow more to improve the services or tax more to improve the services?
Forget about one small sector of society paying the extra costs. Labour lie through their teeth when they say only the rich will pay more. They also lie when the invent numbers of billions that are not being paid in corporation taxes. This is the legal practice of being based in one country and paying the corporation taxes another country.
The flaw in that approach is the knock-on effect of businesses and people leaving the UK taking with them jobs and profits. The end result is very little gained in tax revenue. It requires all people to pay more in taxes to fund the services demanded. And what is wrong with the people demanding more paying for what they demand?
Here's the real problem and neither Left or Right will address it.
The population is growing faster than the economy can pay for it. Working class jobs and salaries have been disappearing for decades, now middle-class jobs and salaries are starting to decline. When a company moves production to the Far East, it takes with it the jobs of those on over £60k as well.
And for decades the UK has been on a mission to increase the population by not controlling birth rates and by allowing millions of low-skilled workers in. This has led to a huge growth in those who don't contribute and those who rely on the State for subsidies. Look at the statistics or people who now rely on some form of benefits and earn less than £25k. With all the state amenities handed out to a family, £25k is the average where one really contributes.
Both sides con you that the rich can somehow make enough money and stay in the UK to pay for the growing number of poor. Labour being the worse of the two.
you still haven't told us where the money to build the 100,000 houses and re-nationalise industries is coming from. Because Labour dismiss is it by saying the money is negated because the country will now own the assets. which is like saying you don't have to pay the buyer for your car because you now own it.
