I'm all for the richer end of society being taxed a little bit more than the lower end but 50 fucking percent is robbery.

Who's the thief?

| Re: The 2009 Budget
Using tax money to fight illegal and imaginary wars and not social injustice is robbery, 50% taxation is a hollow attempt to shift the balance of wealth slightly. The system itself is fucked, coming up with easily dodged rules to keep it in place with fix nothing.

The BBC were saying that the economy would shrink by -3.5%. Just being a pedant but if something shrinks by a minus does that not mean it actually grows. Stupid BBC.
Nobody really cares, do they?! | |
