Ed Miliband has dubbed it “a millionaire’s budget that squeezes the middle”, “unfair” and “out of touch”, “for the few, not the many”, an unfair budget from the “same old Tories”.

George-Osborne-Budget-2012George Osborne, meanwhile, has said it’s a budget that “supports working families and helps those looking for work”, “unashamedly backs business” and “is on the side of aspiration – those who want to do better for themselves and for their families”.

But what do you think? Vote in our Budget 2012 survey and have your say.

    I strongly suspect they pay 28% (capital gains) on most of their wealth.

    28% is paid on REALISED capital gains, not wealth. If lucky, this might be a few percentage points of wealth. Almost all tax is levied on income and transactions. (Even council tax is based on deemed income, not value). I cannot think of any tax on static wealth.

    Please correct above if I am wrong-thinking.

    …And realised capital gains are (gasp) income, yes. Which is why I strongly support a unified rate.

    There are taxes on static wealth in other countries, but I’m not proposing one.
