  2. Damien Grant’s comment abuot tax removing money from the economy has got to be the most ideologically pure statement I’ve heard in a long time and he should be congratulated on his committment to the cause in the face of reality.

    Perhaps he is unaware that the govenment then spends that same money back into the economy thereby ensuring that wealth is distributed in a way that helps the eonomy thrive (ie not all of it ends up in the hands of rich people.

    Unless of course the government is intent on running a surplus – then they really do take money out of the economy

  3. Do not blame a tripartite coalition govt for failing to deliver what one tripartite govt member was never going to favour. His golden oldies electoral base would have deserted him.

  4. The Greens are only interested in carrying out the censorship agenda of Silicon Valley Oligarch Pierre Omidyar, who also recently shut down the Snowden archive (besides funding Action Station and the other O.P.E.N Network astroturf groups around the world, he also funds the Intercept).

    Come on people. The Greens smell bad because they are off! Rotten! Corrupt!

  5. Wonder when the endless commentary on the CGT will finally “end”?People made it plain in large numbers they didn’t want it. That’s how a democracy is supposed to work but in my experience its rarely the case.

    How about some questions about why the corporate tax rate is so absurdly low and how we can fix that?

  6. Whilst I may disagree with many things you stand for Bomber, I think you deserve credit as one of the few left-wing, high profile commentators who stick to your principles and don’t blindly follow the party.

    I’m starting to make this place a regular visit. From the other side of the divide.

    1. Yes the United Peoples of The Standard are very very quiet on the issue of promised revolutionary change. At least Martyn is consistent on this one.
      I pick Labour now just create a top new tax rate for income earners and bracket as well as eliminate rather than phase out negative gearing altogether on rental property. Far more popular with their support base and Winston has to vote for that.

  7. A simple axiom to get the behaviour you need : reward the behaviour you want and penalize the behaviour you do not want or in this instance, reward the productive and penalize the non productive.

    1. So. We tax hard workers, and don’t tax land and housing speculators, adding nothing to society, but higher land prices and bank lending profits.
