| Subject: UK's Liberal Democrat conference: Loopy Clegg to call for tax on wealthy Sat Sep 22, 2012 1:07 am | |
| Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg is to repeat his call for a tax on the wealthy when he rallies activists on their party conference's opening day.
He will urge lower taxes for workers doing a "proper shift" but higher rates for those "sitting on a fortune".
Lib Dem calls for a one-off tax on "unearned wealth" have been rejected by their Conservative coalition partners.
Mr Clegg will also defend his going into coalition but say his party has "different priorities" from the Tories.
