| Chris, quick answers... Fix the holes in the tax system to prevent major scale tax evasion by people ranging from large companies to high earning consultants (there is a massive hole that I can tell any constultant about to save at least 10% tax). Secondly put in place the Robin Hood tax. Take a very small amount of money passing through the UK banking system will not affect consumers, will not lead to any kind of exodus of talent (and if it is this talent is very easy to replace) and make a lot of money from the industry that is generated the psuedo recession and is forcing us to make the cuts. Why is the banking sector forcing us to make the cuts? Because the actions we are taking are being done to protect or credit rating and that credit rating is set by banks. The recession was generated by banks refusing to lend, not because there was any kind of real recession in place. Too much of this becomes a matter of perception, of dubious economic theory held up with religious fervour. |
