Labour Supporter, how old are you because my nephew could speak more sense than your last couple of postings and he's 9!!
I find it extrodinarily ironic that you say you don't like new taxes!!?? As Peter pointed out, this government has implemented more stealth taxes than any government before. As for congestion, I don't like it either, but given the choice of being stuck in my air conditioned car with a pack of cigs and a bit of Aerosmith playing or sat on a bus I think you know which one I'd choose.
As for your strange comment about director pay and nurses pay, I think you have missed the point. I imagine, although I wouldn't like to second guess, that Peter was suggesting that since direectors are paying themselves stupid amounts of money (which incidentally I don't have a problem with) then they should be paying a higher rate (50%/60%) tax on their extra earnings. In turn this could be used, amongst other things, to contribute to higher nurses salaries.
As for your comments relating to how much they should increase by then 100% would be great because they do a very good job in very difficult circumstances. Additionally I don't think we should forget policemen, paramedics, armed forces and fire crews who also get paid a pittance for what are very dangerous jobs.
I also believe that in addition to tackling those who avoid tax there should be a huge shake up of the benefit system and more checks put in place. The current system is a farce and allows for people to take advantage and claim, unchecked, when they have no entitlement.
