Labour responsible for budget measures that affect the Rich.

It would seem most of the alleged fairness the Lib Dems are claiming they imposed on this week's budget are actually Labour measures in place before the election: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/jun/23/budget-welfare-poor-ifs-report

So I guess Britons need to be thankful the Lib-Cons didn't want to deviate more from Labour's policies. Bet you're glad we got a new government eh?

Still even with burdens on the rich inherited from Labour the IFS thinks that the cuts will hit the poor five times harder than the poor: http://www.ifs.org.uk/projects/330 (Taken from this editorial: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/jun/23/george-osborne-fairness-claim-fraud)

I suppose for all Labour's fault they weren't the Conservatives or, it would seem, the Lib Dems.
