Is it? Think voters want higher earnings for those on low to middle incomes so that they might more easily cope with the demands of funding government & enjoy some 'disposable' income How wrong am I?

He probably thinks it's a holiday destination! Yes, i know what a "general election" is, it is when people vote for an intelegent / business minded person of the community, a well educated person, to make a big diffrence to the manx economy, ie, Howard Quayle, Eddie Tear, Kate Beecroft.

In reality, Cannan has presided over very progressive, worker-friendly tax and budgetary reforms. The working class are paying less tax and receiving more in the way of spending/funding aimed at helping working families. How you think this is "anti working class" is beyond me. But how much influence does an MHK have over a government department, or are they just a mouth piece ( a lamb to the slaughter if it all goes wrong ) ?

Mr Cannan has - it would seem - endowed Treasury with the capacity to make judgmental decisions on the value of work to the state & impose obligations upon parents in return for the support of social welfare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
