Cameron / Macaroon

Osbourne unveils gay tax plan! Ah no.. Osbourne unveils pay and tax plans. Still.. what a bombshell.. The Tories aren't going to tax that particular lifestyle choice; they're going to tax everyone equally. Its part of Cameron's plan to make us all a bit miserable in the period between the financial stimulus being rolled back and the economy slipping into a depression. Clever chap this Cameron! Even if he does have a face like a suet pudding.

  1. You won't remember this, but when I was a boy we didn't have stimulus packages. Instead we had long grinding depressions. I remember Lloyd George and Friedrich Hayek coming round my school to explain to me why they had to balance the budget; in those days politicians would personally explain every policy to every schoolchild. They were simpler times.. but in a way better.

    The social object of skilled investment should be to defeat the dark forces of time and ignorance which envelope our future.

  3. The effect of the people's agreeing that there must be central planning, without agreeing on the ends, will be rather as if a group of people were to commit themselves to take a journey together without agreeing where they want to go; with the result that they may all have to make a journey which most of them do not want at all.
