Comments on: Peter Hain - how much of his salary does he give to inner city regeneration? http://www.johnredwoodsdiary.com/2007/02/11/peter-hain-how-much-of-his-salary-does-he-give-to-inner-city-regeneration/ Conservative Party Member of Parliament for Wokingham Sat, 11 Oct 2008 19:17:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Marin Abra http://www.johnredwoodsdiary.com/2007/02/11/peter-hain-how-much-of-his-salary-does-he-give-to-inner-city-regeneration/#comment-679 Marin Abra Mon, 12 Feb 2007 19:53:18 +0000 http://www.johnredwoodsdiary.com/?p=95#comment-679 What is the definition of reach? In truly communist style Peter Hain may decide that 'reach' is anyone earning more than the average salary. Make no mistake about it. 'New' in 'New Labour' is just a facade. Many people in this government would sit comfortably in any of the former Eastern European governments, notwithstanding the fact that it was economic colapse that led to their downfall.

Ask him what would happen to his salary, and the salary of one of those people in the City he so despises, if tomorrow everybody stopped paying tax. Since Peter Hain gets his whole parliamentary income and his (no doubt well padded) parliamentary expenses from the public purse, Peter Hain would be out on the street the following day. The fellow in the City who actually does something productive, he would be about 35% better off. Thus we see, simply demonstrated the relitive value of Peter Hain and, by comparrison the people he so despises. Peter Hain is worthless, and the people Peter Hain singles out for villification are actually undervalued by 35%. Dear John, please do me a favour, next time you speak to Peter Hain.
