Absolutely right you can never get labour oafs to realise
that most of the rich got that way through risk taking and
hard work and in fact they create jobs – why would we want
them to do so in another country we need them here! We lost
most of our manufacturing industry during the soak the rich brain drain and winter of discontent of the last labour
administration (ruled over by the unions) but they still don’t get it do they?!!!

God we are in such mess we need a Leader who can cut through the crap and show the Nation the way out of this disaster!

The question I have is how the devil are we going to pay for the public sector when cuts have been priced into the gilts market?…….Without substantial public sector cuts all hell will break loose with gilts rendering further borrowing close to impossible. 50p tax is small fry compared to the taxation required to sustain the public sector at its current size.

Every who has read the Child’s Book of Tax Policy knows that the tax increase is stupid and counter-productive, but of course Gordon doesn’t care. During ten years a Chancellor he demonstrated exhaustively that he has no understanding of tax policy, nor any curiosity about it. The only purpose of the 50p rate is to embarrass the Conservatives. It is the work of a man who would rather be the cock of a small dungheap than an ordinary citizen of a great nation.
