Union Rants Have Started

Brendan Barber of the TUC say the rich (apparently anyone on over £100k) should be taxed more.
A report has been issued which also says Britain has more super rich than ever.

The report says Russian oil magnate and Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich is currently Britain's second-richest man, worth £11.7bn, followed by the Duke of Westminster on £7bn, Sri and Gopi Hinduja on £6.2bn and Alisher Usmanov on £5.7bn.

Mr Barber, look at the list, all bar one have come to the UK because of its current tax regime, and up until recently its lack of surprise tax changes(CGT changed that view).

If we change the tax regime these foreign investors will leave, none will come in to replace them, and just like the 70's Brits will also leave and take their tax money with them.

Barber said extreme wealth was "socially divisive and morally objectionable". No Mr Barber, envy is divisive and morally objectionable, stop trying to destroy the country.
