"Clobbering the rich"

[mirrorshard]

Boris Johnson's right about one thing; taxes that "clobber the rich" could well deter high earners from continuing to work in the financial sector in this country.

So that's one very good reason why it should happen.

They broke it, they bought it.

It's apparent that You Just Don't Get It (http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/26793903/the_big_takeover/print). We have to clobber the poor, not the rich, otherwise... er... Bad! Scary things! Communists (http://baselinescenario.com/2009/03/23/breaking-the-bank/)!

Oh, right, yes, silly me.

That Baseline Scenario blog is interesting - I hadn't seen it before, so cheers for the link.

I think we should follow the same principle and introduce taxes which clobber home-owners. That'll teach them not to mess up the housing market.
