I want to start with the main principled opposition to this bill, and, in doing so, I'm going to quote Thomas Sowell, one of the world's most renowned economists of the 20th and 21st centuries, when he said of tax—of inflation, actually—"It is a way to take people's wealth from them without having to openly raise taxes. Inflation is the most universal tax of all." We have this issue with what is commonly known as bracket creep. We have a Government that is determined to raise the wages of workers, particularly low-income workers, but the risk is that they are no better off, because the higher the income with inflation at the same time, the higher the tax that they pay, and therefore at best they are no better off and at worst they are worse off.
