""Don has this idea that he had more money in his pocket under conservatives.""
The Tories were, whether you like it or not, the party which polled most votes.
Your preferred party wimped out of forming a coalition, the first choice of the LibDems, because they knew that they could not deal with the deficit without alienating the public, and they preferred to dump their mess in Cameron's lap, so that the brickbats would come his way.
The last thing on the minds of Ed Millipede and his cronies is the welfare of the country. They stand for the Trade Unions who pay for their campaigns, and for the Labour Party which wants to control the population from cradle to grave.
It is not so much that I have more money in my pocket under the Tories, though generally I do, it is more that I get to choose what I do with what I have.
I prefer to be a free agent paying tax on what I choose to spend, rather than a slave to Labour taking it off me before I even see it, and spending it on whatever they choose without concern or reference to my wishes.
I know that willing serfs like RB will never understand this in a million years, simply because they truly believe that all property is theft.
What they can never tell me is this. If I have, by the sweat of my brow earned a few quid, what right has the government, once having received its tax, to tell me how I must spend the residue?
