How is it scaremongering? The gist of the article is quite simple? When a Government starts to see a drop in tax revenues in one area they will seek to replace those lost/reduced taxes from somewhere else. It’s not rocket science.

If that is the point of the article then it’s still a non story as it is simply stating the obvious. Like you say it’s not rocket science, if the government loses income from one source it has to get it back from another. Surely we don’t need the Daily Mail (or any other newspaper for that matter) to point that out…

Which bit of if no one is earning it because wage levels have been,and are continuously being,reduced in real terms don’t they understand.The fact is it doesn’t matter what they put the tax on because if people have to pay out more than they earn that just means more debt followed by bankruptcy and you can’t get tax from someone who’s bankrupt. :bulb:

We’re heading for where Greece is now and it’s just a matter of time.
