Scottish income tax & council tax

As a free-market-liberal-climate-change-sceptic, I have to say I agree with the Scottish Green Party on this one.

I disagree.

A local income tax would be a disaster. It's another opportunity to punish those who have worked hard and are paid accordingly whilst rewarding the work shy.

Do you pay more for a tin of beans than someone on benefits because you earn more!?!

Snafu, the Greens have long advocated replacing council tax with land value tax (and scrapping agricultural subsidies) with which I wholeheartedly concur. Local income tax would indeed be a disaster.

'Labour has also challenged the SNP to answer ten questions on the local income tax, including how many households with two earners will have to pay more.'.

Is this a trick question?
