The Greens wealth tax

A minor party, puts out a policy that threatens taxing the wealthy, and this board explodes.

So, Chlöe, my question of you is: When will you start to give those who take the risks to create jobs that pay tax the confidence that, were we to pay more, you will spend it well and not pour it down a seemingly endless drain with little or no accountability?

Sir Ian Taylor is the founder and managing director of Animation Research.

Well all I can say to that little sob story is governments are voted in and out to run the country and spend the tax take as they see fit, on behalf of the people.

As an individual tax payer you are not entitled to 'confidence' that your tax will be spent well, you are simply required to pay your fair share, whatever that might be determined to be...   unless you think you are special and shouldn't have to live by the rules...
