Tax, Havens, and Gordon Brown

Condemning the world's various tax 'havens' is widespread currently. So is perverting words from earlier meanings; as a mark of the moral mindset to which Labour's regime subscribes, where 'haven' as a shelter for those in danger of the seas is pirated to those who do not wish to contribute their democratically fixed share to the society in which they float, 'haven' is a fine example.

A decade and more of Gordon Brown in the two highest offices of state has debased the United Kingdom to one of the finest tax havens on Earth.

At the same time, the taxation of the poor to support the even poorer, in the United Kingdom, has reached levels that inflict desperate damage on the modest and reasonable expectation of earning the means to house, feed, educate and care for our families, entertained by people who were brought up with clear ideas of self worth and self sufficiency. Reducing independent members of our society to supplication for means tested doles from tax garnered resources produced by their own work, is profoundly immoral.

Coupled, by Gordon Brown and his decades-long companions, with the whole United Kingdom made available for global sheltering of the resources of the rich in their wholly separate wealth environment - for it cannot be called anything with the word 'tax' in it, as the United States tax authorities have clarified when refusing to offset the £30,000 charge against the taxable income of US citizens - it must be recognised that the United Kingdom is a failed democratic state.

New Labour: the compliant herders of the poor in the playgrounds of the rich.
