Brown is an utter joke, he's just done the pathetic tax back thing which will, just be added on in the future, he's spent some 400billion or so? on bailing out banks, that somewhat arguably he helped get into trouble in the first place over the last several years. He's now offering another tax break. Realistically he's just sending this country into even more debt and a future to be even more heavily taxed when it will be even worse for us.
IE, stop people saving now, encourage spending, probably lengthen the recession and screw us harder than needed in the next few years.
THe main problem is, our economy fails if we stop buying things and going out and spending money as that is our economy, we don't export goods anymore, we make smeg all and our economy is simply a joke.
Back when industry left out country they should have been fighting to keep them here, they should, like almost any other sane country in the world be fighting for new manufacturing plants to be built here by offering tax cuts and the like.
You think New York State is the cheapest place for AMD to build chips, considering wage's of American highly trained workers as opposed to building fabs in the middle east? so why build there, because NYS offered massive tax breaks as an incentive to build there. AS part of the project AMD is pumping what will be billions into the local economy and creating thousands of jobs. Its the kind of thing our government should have been doing for 20 years, and has instead been outsourcing more and more jobs.
But tax cuts are great, considering how massively heavily reliant we are as a society, on jobs paid out of taxes, and the number of people on, and to join our welfare programs as more jobs are lost.
Idiots. how Blair stayed in so long, or Brown is doing anything he's doing, or how this stupendously stupid country voted them back in again and again I really don't know.
