Many args in this piece also have a cargo cult feel to them - “we can’t afford to betray trust, need to show we can deliver on our promises” Guys! Trust in general is at an all time low, trust in *your govt* has already collapsed, you’re polling under 20% and your biggest losses are *on the left*!

It would be very this government to threaten income taxes for a month and then do ten stupid increases, and expect that the nation will collapse in gratitude at them not increasing income tax
