Rejected petition Put the 50p tax back instead of the 45p tax

More details

The 50p tax is designed for the rich to be taxed 50p per pound they made. The goverment announced in the budget that it would cut it down to 45p. While the poor will be worst off. This is not fair.

Even though the tactic is keep the rich in the country but the rich should be paying more tax, especially to help the poorest in our communities.

Please petition this now, to put it back up to 50p.
