Tax revolt: Ant Power

Fraser Nelson can't see any difference between Gordonomics and Osbornomics because there isn't any - what we have is continuity of agenda, presided over by the civil service. Our government is run by corporate interests, for corporate interests.

Mr Hartnett, the civil servant who did sweetheart deals with Vodafone and Goldman Sachs - massively reducing their tax bills -  thinks that it is our duty to rat on people who pay cash for transactions. Poster haphaestus (with 671 recommends at the time of writing), dispatches this notion unequivocally:

Just like here in Canada, my message to the tax collectors is this:

Let us, the average income earners, us working class, know when you have:
(1) eliminated tax loopholes for filthy rich, and corporations
(2) eliminated government waste
(3) eliminated ridiculously obscene gold pensions and "perks" (free lunches and booze) for MP's

and then maybe I will start to feel guilty about doing my very best to keep your grubby little meathooks out of my wallet!

We remain in thrall to a tiny band of people who have convinced us that it is our moral and patriotic duty to pay to keep them and their ilk in clover and in power.

But is it?

LarkenRose (talking to James Corbett) doesn't think so. If you can't see the MP3 player below, you can listen to the interview here.
