More money we can steal. Yippee.

Reading this article about annual bonuses paid to staff on performance. Not much really in the article but one bit stuck in my throat.

' annual bonuses to City staff should be subject to a windfall tax to fund the NHS, say MPs.'

Remember that these bonuses are taxed at the normal rate and subject to the tax bands which covers NI so they are already paying into the NHS fund with this money. Additionally, most are in stressful jobs and probably smoke and drink. So will get lower levels of care proportional to what they are paying. The firms pay these to get the best from people and this is the way they chose to reward them. It's still a salary but dependent on performance.

What a bunch of thieving b4%^4&ds.
