It's easy if you are not middle earner

SIR - D E Margrett wrote (Letters, February 1) that income tax rates in this country should rise, and furthermore, the independent British press should assist the Government in brainwashing the public into believing that this was necessary.

What a truly horrendous thought. Then again, I suppose it's easy to advocate an increase in taxes if you're not actually one of the millions of middle earners in this country who see 40 per cent of their hard-earned pay taken from them each month. I've got an alternative idea to increasing taxation - why don't we stop giving £35m per day, seven days a week, to the EU and spend it instead on services for the British people who worked for it in the first place?
