How to get blood from a stone


iconIn England, Sky News reports that the government is beginning to realize that they have reached the "limit of acceptability" for property taxation. It is feared that homeowners, who have faced double digit increases lately will not take any more. So, just what does the government plan to do about it?

In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Mr Raynsford said the Government needed to consider alternative sources to raise money.

"The increases in the last two or three years have really taxed the patience of a lot of people," he said.

"We have to look at the possibility of finding other sources of revenue".

It's interesting that cutting government spending was never even mentioned. Instead, government officials are looking for new and creative ways to tax citizens, without facing political fallout. To government officials its all about money and power. How much many can we get, without losing our power?

What recourse do the English people have?

Harsh language?

Nobody running for office believes in cutting spending.
