Tax bills to rise for decades
Story link: Tax bills to rise for decades
It’s the circle of life as far as the government and finances are concerned, they lend extra money, they need extra money, they get extra money from the taxpayers.

Forget the economic slump. The only real problem with Britain today is that people like you don’t understand what’s going on. At least, that’s the theory in some parts of the Labour party, it seems.
The Independent reported this week it had been told by a “senior ally” of Gordon Brown that the Prime Minister “needs to use simpler language to explain the measures we are taking.” Apparently phrases like ‘global recession’ are “too much jargon” for the electorate to grasp.
