Opposing Taxes Is Like Stealing Cars
The next election will be fought on a variety of battlegrounds, not least the fact that Gordoom has been conducting UK economic policy with all of the subtlety and finesse of a Scorsese movie. TheEye is a firm believer in the lowest of taxes and the lightest possible touch of government. Disagreeing from the red corner is Cornell professor Robert H Frank, writing in New York Times, who thinks that opposition to taxes is like car stealing and vandalism:
“Anti-tax zealots denounce all taxation as theft, as depriving citizens of their right to spend their hard-earned incomes as they see fit. Yet nowhere does the Constitution grant us the right not to be taxed. Nor does it grant us the right to harm others with impunity. No one is permitted to steal our cars or vandalize our homes. Why should opponents of taxation be allowed to harm us in less direct ways?”
It is lunatics such as him who have mutated both the UK and the USA towards the indebted shambles that we are currently in. Accusing TheEye of being morally equivalent to a car thief for recognising that socialism doesn’t work is just a step too far into the land of wibble.
Gordoom will be kicked into touch by the electorate as the longest serving Prime Minister never to have won a General Election but for people like Robert H Frank…if he’s on the same happy pills as our Prime Mentalist then he needs to up his doseage.
There are eight million self employed in this country, every one of which fiddles his or her tax. Good luck to them when MP’s are fiddling hundreds of thousands…think about that Labour…and marvel at how vacuous you must seem to the voters.
Pillocks.
That’s the problem. Everyone who is caught with a dodgy taxi receipt on expenses can now legitimately shrug, not feel guilty in the slightest, and point out the expert fiddlers that they are up against. You really can’t compete with such criminal talent.
