Which we don't need to be nearly as severe as it is, because the economy is already rebounding, the tax take is stronger than the coalition said it would be and the deficit is not as bad they claim. And then we have the HMRC doing sneak backdoor deals with the big corporations and super-rich, letting them off the taxes they used to pay.<br /><br />All these lies (you can just add Clegg's lies, the proximate cause of the protest) are designed to (a) enrich bankers and corporations and (b) to prepare the ground for a large tax-cut in the next general election, so that the poor dupes, er, voting public will re-elect the Tories to keep the whole thing going and further enrich the corporations and hedge fund managers and bankers that Cameron and Osborne are really all about.DespairingLiberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903904463236135611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-36147539788024454382010-11-10T19:35:03.515+00:002010-11-10T19:35:03.515+00:00Thorpe,
