Three cheers for Peter Wilby’s timely call for a radical reform of the tax system, and not least for an end to the myth, so convenient to high earners, that progressive taxation is a disincentive to effort and innovation. And while we’re about it, why not ditch the negative concept of taxation as a "burden" and talk about "the privilege of taxation" instead? I’m quite sure that those of us at or below the average income of around £23,000 a year would be delighted to be taxed at 50% if our taxable incomes were more than £50,000 a year, never mind the government’s rather pathetic 45% for incomes over £150,000. It’s time our highly paid politicians got real.
What fucking planet do these cunts live on?

"the privilege of taxation"
So you can look at jaqui smith and think...all the tax I will ever pay has gone to give that useless cunt a nice house.
try looking at it that way.
Yes, I am 'privelaged' to be taxed to fuck, from all angles. Cunts.
I meant 'privileged'. i am an uneducated tosser.
Fucking sanctimonious cunt.
I've just posted (awaiting moderation!) the following:-
Richard, you are just so right…
I feel so incredibly priveleged to be able to spend about half of my working week making sure that the third generation of feral-sprog-generating workshy are kept in plasma TVs and fags, and my joy knows no bounds when the fruits of my labours are used to finance government ministers’ “second” homes and subsidise the bars and restaurants in the Palace of Westminster.
God! I’m a lucky man.I'm not holding my breath over making it to publication! :-)
