Min,
I should have been clearer. You said that the Republicans gave tax cuts to the rich, and service cuts to the poor; you then said that this "sounded exactly like the program" we had in Britain. My request for you was to point out the tax cuts for the rich in the UK, not the USA.
Unless I read your post wrong, you seemed to be suggesting that our government (which is a coalition by the way; it is not Tory) is giving tax cuts to the rich, which is not the case at all. That is why I challenged you to point to them.
As I said in my post, the personal tax allowance has been raised, meaning that almost 900,000 more people do not have to pay tax, and giving millions of basic tax payers £200 a year savings. I fail to see how this is not a tax cut for the poor...
