I agree with the sentiment on the need for taxing those earning over €100,000 a bit more to pay for these services. However, how does one make that an attractive idea to the electorate? From the Labour Party’s experience in past elections when it proposed higher taxes for better services, it was targeted by opponents as the party of high taxation. In short, they said do not vote for Labour because they will screw one on tax. How does the council feel such a proposal would go down with the electorate?
