Probably because the Green party would double taxes to explore every green alternative they could think of. A windmill in every back garden, ban all cars and shoot every cow for farting.
Everyone would have to wear clogs and clothes made from straw.
Basie would probably masturbate himself into a coma.

I've got no problem with paying more tax, as long as what I get for my money is better also. Take many Scandinavian countries for instance where tax is a hell of a lot more than here. Their public services **** all over ours. If this is the alte

The Greens have no need to double taxes, they would just collect that which is now being avoided. They are the party of Animal Rights so why should they shoot them. It's UKIP for some reason that wants

I wonder who bought up the idea that we live in a free country. I don't think we have ever been or ever will. From the times of Roman slavery to Anglo-Saxon feudal serfdom and later the Roman Catholic Inquisition we've always been under someone's thumb. Even the right to graze livestock on common land was taken away by the Enclosures Act and the Highland Clearances. Most people have three options, wage slavery making more money for the rich or being cannon fodder fighting the rich man's wars, and of course if you don't like that,starving to death.

Bloody hell Awks a half sensible post - of course it all depends upon what one measn by "free"!!!

As a rue I avoid political debate but one can't help feeling there is a whiff of 1930's germany - times are hard lets find some sector of the population to blame - funny how its never those who came by their wealth by dubious means over the centuries and the british publics never ending des

I love it how people like awks who don't have a clue what they're on about think it's so simple to 'collect avoidance tax'.

this is something I know a fair bit about and believe me, it's not easy because of very smart lawyers and accountants. The current government introduced something called 'accelerated payments' recently which is by far the biggest measure any government has taken in recent times to stop tax avoidance on small companies and directors. obviously huge multinationals is a different ball game.

it a bit like taxing at 50%, there is a fine line between taxing to generate more revenue, and taxing inefficiently but either way it isn't simple to get past lawyers etc.

It's just a question of introducing smart laws to outsmart the smart lawyers and smart accountants and more importantly a smart electorate to elect smart politicians capable of doing that, instead of those who seeing which way the crowd is heading and say "f

Swaledale - thanks for reminding me that this board is a Redneck free zone, unlike that which the Forest board has become.Long may it be so.
