I do not. The reason is that the person who is on a higher level of income has a higher effective rate of tax and is paying more in taxation in cash terms as well. The only way in which I can undo the kind of effect that the Deputy is referring to is by taking more and more people out of our personal tax space, which will go right back to the policies that caused us such difficulty in the past.
