Tax is ALWAYS Taxing

TAX THEM BACK TO THE STONE AGE

The Curtis LeMay phrase "bomb them back into the Stone Age" implies a fierce attack that utterly destroys its target's infrastructure, forcing its survivors to revert to primitive technology in order to survive.

UK political parties might not use the phrase "tax them back to the Stone Age" in public, but there does seem to be an increasing alliance between the Government and Opposition Parties to use taxation as the ultimate weapon of choice to fight modern social ills. Small time "one issue" pressure groups, PR companies and lobbyists all contribute to the political panic "tax action plan", because not to act or tax is seen as a weakness.

Meanwhile, recent revelations that ONE POINT SEVEN BILLION POUNDS (£1,700,000,000) of taxpayers money has been overpaid to General Practitioners and mostly used to "top-up" personal wages has dropped out of the headlines.

Billion may refer to either of two numbers: 1,000,000,000 (number), one thousand million or 1,000,000,000,000 (number), one million, million. No clear guidance has yet been given regarding which billion has been used in the over payment of GPs.

Researchers have found even primitive man had to pay a high rate of tax on each "kill" brought back to camp, sometimes up to 95% of the meat would be taken from him. Modern man has around 48% of earnings taken either at source or by stealth taxes, but don't worry; politicians are working hard to retrograde your standard of living back to Stone Age levels.
