They actively harm growth. The 50% rate comes in too early, hurting the "merely industrious", but is nothing like high enough once income is serious (>£10m annual). Later & Higher is better There is not, & never has been, any evidence for "trickle down wealth", the rich are value sinks, not national asset. Taxing, & passing back to the low paid/govt employees lifts the economy quite well compared to super-rich. PS: the megarich (>£100m) actively become anticompetitive , antidemocratic & dynastic; that is a BAD thing. Tax them!]]> davidb Fri, 09 Sep 2011 17:20:08 +0100 http://www.entrepreneurcountry.com/news-features/item/1388-50p-income-tax-rate-–-an-entrepreneur’s-perspective#comment-271 http://www.entrepreneurcountry.com/news-features/item/1388-50p-income-tax-rate-–-an-entrepreneur’s-perspective#comment-270 Mayank Patel Fri, 09 Sep 2011 15:55:50 +0100 http://www.entrepreneurcountry.com/news-features/item/1388-50p-income-tax-rate-–-an-entrepreneur’s-perspective#comment-270 http://www.entrepreneurcountry.com/news-features/item/1388-50p-income-tax-rate-–-an-entrepreneur’s-perspective#comment-269 Mark Bellinger Fri, 09 Sep 2011 13:21:30 +0100 http://www.entrepreneurcountry.com/news-features/item/1388-50p-income-tax-rate-–-an-entrepreneur’s-perspective#comment-269 http://www.entrepreneurcountry.com/news-features/item/1388-50p-income-tax-rate-–-an-entrepreneur’s-perspective#comment-268 Steve Read Fri, 09 Sep 2011 13:07:48 +0100 http://www.entrepreneurcountry.com/news-features/item/1388-50p-income-tax-rate-–-an-entrepreneur’s-perspective#comment-268
