Que paguen los ricos

¿Alguien leyó la columna de Andrew Lloyd Webber que colgué ayer sobre los aumentos de impuestos a las ganancias en Gran Bretaña?

Más del tema de Mark Steyn:

There was a lot of that in the Seventies. And all that's changed is that, thanks to e-mail and FedEx and cell phones and whatnot, it's a lot easier to do global business from your chosen jurisdiction than it was 30 years ago. Andrew says he's not "a rich b*****d flying a kite for my own cause", but the comments crowd seem to think he is and scoff that these proposals will only affect one-to-two per cent of the population.

Dream on. As I like to say about Obama's plans to raise taxes only on the rich, you'll be surprised what percentage of the population find themselves in "the richest five per cent" by the time we're through. There are simply not enough of "the rich" to pay for what western governments are spending.
