Tax Doctor
Dr James Gordon Brown will be forgotten in history as the "bottler" prime minister whose government introduced tax after tax almost daily. Ironically, Dr. Tax's PhD was gained in history (thesis entitled: The Labour Party and Political Change in Scotland 1918-29) from the University of Edinburgh in 1982.
- A postdoctoral thesis could be entitled: The Labour Party and Political Change in the UQ (aka UK) Ltd 1997-2010
History is supposed to be 'the study of the past' and if Brown's government imagines credibility then all the taxation must be meaningful. If nothing has been learned, then...
Brown's government has not one fresh idea of how to rejuvenate or revive the economy except raising money through taxation. This presupposes that the taxpayer has a bottomless pocket and 'willingly' funds by appallingly overt raids in perpetuity on the public (taxpayers') purse as the result of gross mismanagement, or more simply, complete incompetence. The golden goose died long ago, but in a macabre sense the dead body is constantly rifled for more wealth. It's featherless and quite naked, yet it is still perceived as a provider. Power comes from raiding citizens' wealth and providing the potential voter with a range of benefits to assure future support. The hand that feeds is rarely bitten off, even though Dr Brown has killed the golden goose.
Another cynical and forever winning system is that connected with Council Tax. The provision of council tax is through extortion as the failure to pay constitutes a criminal offence. Exaction occurs:
"when a person unlawfully obtains either money, property or services from a person, entity, or institution, through coercion"
The cynical get out here is most likely that it is not unlawful for a council (the institution) to obtain money, property or services when such activity is made lawful by a device such as the Local Government Finance Act 1992 and would amount to the institution coercing itself (paradoxical nonsense). Individuals are then forced by law and can so become a criminal. This is the same as any other tax.
Virtual Money
In a more sinister light, the ultimate aim must be the complete subjugation of the British people (and that probably includes the Scottish, after all the origin of a tax provider is irrelevant as long as they have money and are not one of the protected 'establishment'). Taxation is the yoke around the collective British (public's) neck and every new (almost daily) tax represents another burden to cause an ever-stretched neck. The Irish Republic's rejection of the Lisbon Treaty (to reform the expanded EU) and the subsequent complete disregard of the single official returned vote (the 1 in the 27 member states and ratified by 18) demonstrates the silent invasion of Europe and, technically, without a shot being fired. It is ironic that France and Germany now support each other in the European power struggle where in WWII Germany was the power of occupation. Brown's UK government is, as usual, either too weak to stand against tyranny or so compliant it mirrors Chamberlain's appeasement in WWII.
There is a power struggle being fought and the prize is the total control over Europe. Continuing taxation is the overture before the storm and mirrors:
The UK government is to be challenged in the High Court over its denial of a manifesto pledge (that possibly afforded it a third-term in power) where the British people would be given the opportunity to vote (EU referendum) on a power reorganisation within Europe. This was a Blair and NOT Brown government: a tactical move to place Brown in No 10 Downing Street as prime minister without any vote of confidence , ie election, being sanctioned. Disgrace piled on top of disgrace. But this is power politics where the people are nothing more than an interfering irrelevency, except to provide the government with the funds it needs to secure its power play.
The population is 'allowed' to grow (increase) and in so doing create a fatter, but just as dead, goose. This is the clouded and twisted logic of ineptness. Stealthily helping itself to citizens' money in a reverse logic sense, completely devoid of logic, doesn't just kill the goose, but paints it yellow in the process.
Smart.
One of the most recent is a 'tax by stealth' on airlines.
