In the days of Old Labour, Denis Healy was even heard once to say that Labour would "tax the rich until the pips squeak" - something they didn't actually do.
Socialists have always stood for taxing the rich not the poor yet now Plaid once again reaffirm that they want to cut taxes for big business:

This is further evidence that Plaid far from being an alternative to new Labour offer the same solutions with a nationalist twist - a low wage economy with generous handouts to multinationals.
Adam Price MP justifies this with reference to the Irish Celtic Tiger economy which most of Plaid elected representatives hold out as their model. But Ireland is a low wage economy of gross equality and poverty. Plaid accept all the arguments of the free market, globalisation and the results of this.
What is the difference between Plaid and Labour?
