Here They Come! Tax Rises Ahoy!

It has taken a long time for them to do it; and a lot longer than some of the prophets of doom said it would back in 1997. But finally, it has happened, and we have the conclusive proof of what so many people having been warning about for years. Nu Labour have shed the "New" tag, and are going back to the class war rhetoric of old. Yep, it has happened: our skunk faced cunt of a Chancellor is going to raise taxes for the rich.

Of course, this tax rise isn't going to affect me, and hopefully (since it won't take place until after the next election) it won't affect anyone (if Labour lose that election). However, it is an alarming sign that our government is not just going to be high-spending, but also high-taxing.

And make no mistake about this proposed tax increase - this is just the tip of the iceberg. The government has been on a spending spree this year - one that puts their high-spending ways over the past decade to shame - and the simple fact is that you can't buy out large chunks of banks at the same time as promising tax cuts and reductions in VAT without having to find some serious amounts of cash from other sources. And how does the government fund itself? Oh, yeah, that would be through taxation now, wouldn't it?

So this tax increase aimed at the rich will be the first of many. The rich are being targeted because Labour just plain don't like the rich. And mark my words, the other tax increases to come will also target things that Labour don't like. So watch this space for dramatic increases on the taxes on booze, on cigarettes, on high calorie content food, on anything and everything that might not be 100% environmentally friendly. The generosity of Darling, and of his evil puppet-master Gordon Brown, is short term and is going to come at a cost - and what a cost. Labour will give themselves the right to control what you consume using the tax system. The generosity of today will become the sackcloth and ashes of tomorrow. Everyone will end up paying the price for Gordon Brown's economic genius.

Anyone suffering from class or wealth envy today and celebrating the fact that the rich are getting a kicking need to stop, and look at what this tax increase actually means. Today Labour are hitting the rich, tomorrow they will be looking at who else they can extract cash from - and you will be in their cross hairs.
