Her government had previously reversed two other key aspects of the plan — cuts to taxes paid by corporations and the country's highest earners.Hunt revealed Friday that only a cut to national insurance — a social security tax — and a small stamp duty cut would remain from the original plan, saying "it is not right to borrow to fund this tax cut.""A central responsibility for any government is to do what's necessary for economic stability," Hunt said.
"No government can control markets, but every government can give certainty about the sustainability of public finances," he added.
Meanwhile the Republican Party keeps up the biggest con ever by preaching that tax cuts for the wealthy will “trickle down” to those in need thereby stabilizing the economy. Fool me once (Reagan), fool me twice (Trump), and yes, we will be fooled again. VoteBlue
