The increase in the amount of untaxed earnings is nice. Makes low earners about £220ish better off.

By helping the rich more, that'll get them to grow their businesses, thus reducing the unemployent rate.

Also, the reduced business tax (by 2%) means small business owners have a better chance at making it through the hard times.

Sucks if you're a smoker or if you drink in pubs and bars though. Tax there has gone up.
