GORDON'S BIG IDEA....
Saturday, November 7, 2009 at 09:56PM 
My but what a surprise. UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has had an idea. A new idea. A fresh idea.
He thinks governments should consider whether it would be possible to develop a tax that would be universal, comprehensive in scope and compatible with financial stability, as well as fair and which would not "distort things"
You have to laugh, don't you? This dolt hasn't a clue - he is facing the exit door next June and between now and then he is simply an embarrassment. The US and Canada have instantly kicked it into touch, of course, so it is dead in the water as soon as it is was floated. So, to cheer Gordon up, here's a song dedicated to him.

Imagine that, eh?
Gordon Brown has and idea and it involves plundering wealth. Wonders never cease. I particularly like:
He thinks governments should consider whether it would be possible to develop a tax ... which would not "distort things"
I must send him some economic texts - real economic texts which don't include a word of that Keynesian gibberish which holds sway.
Rule number one is that incentives matter. This is why all taxes "distort things". That's how we get "bubbles" which "go bang" and land us "up it without a paddle".
Great song.
