A bit ironic then that the overall tax burden was rather higher than the previous Labour government for most of her time as PM: "The tax burden (measured by the Institute for Fiscal Studies in the form of total government receipts as a share of national income) started at just above 40 per cent in 1979, peaked at 45.4 per cent in 1982, then fell below 40 per cent in 1990." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/10-things-you-... What she did do was reduce the silly taxes on higher level of income - but those taxes were just imposed on poorer people. |
