I cant see any government changing this. They all promise they do, but they dont.
Yep...just as I said in my original post. over £600bn in debt to pay off and in the time it will take to do that, only around £7bn will be made by hiking up the tax to 50% for those earning more than £150k. Litlle point really given that the mojority of those in that earning braket are the ones that are keeping the economy fluid!

So a vast increase in expense with sod all benefit?

Is it possible to opt out of governance?

I reckon with a few like minded folks we could overthrow the IOW local authority

Yep, it's dead easy, simply make unemployment without a valid reason for more than 3 months a criminal offence, but instead of jailing them group them into a pool of slave labour to complete public works for minimum wage

Plus as an added bonus i would ensure that as criminals they lost their right to vote me out again

It'd be the bitchin'est dictatorship ever

This country has been brought to its knees by greedy people milking vast sums of money from the wider economy.The sooner we "brain drain" these wasters to other parts of the world the sooner we can start to rebuild our devastated land.

As for the specifics of revenue raising I accept that we are now in exceptional times and the economic waters are uncharted,but recent history (last few decades)says governments of either persuasion have had to raise broadly similar amounts of money by taxation.Now if those with lots of money dont want to pay lots of tax(and who can blame them?)it just leaves those with a lot less money to pick up the tab.So if you dont tax the rich,you will just have to tax the poor a lot more.

not really, in terms of wealth there's a lot more with less and less with more, so you only need to tax the more with less a little more to make the same as taxing the little with lots a lot...

I think you should send that little gem to Mr Darling
Or let the farmer who said this run the show----"An hours rain will do more good in five minute now than a weeks would do in a month at any other time of the year"

It's all piffle.

A few rules of life.
1. Debt is exponential
2. Net movement of money is to the rich
3. Basic maths is beyond most people
4. Politicians don't know their **** from their elbow.

If I ran the country - £10k tax free, then 10% on everything after that. Think of it as a tip if the government do well
