Clegg promises to tax middle and lower-income families less

This is a welcome re-iteration of our policy:

Nick Clegg has promised fiscally "responsible" Liberal Democrat policies with no overall tax increases.
The Lib Dem leader used a major speech on the economy on Friday to say that his party would not seek to raise spending at the next election but would shift the burden of tax onto pollution.
Backing the economic policy path pursued by his Treasury spokesman Vince Cable in the past few years, Clegg said while the public finances "mess" created by Labour would leave little room for manoeuvre, he would pledge to tax middle and lower-income families less.
