Hardly a surprising reaction, though. There are some for whom anything done or even proposed, by this govt will always be wrong.
I think it might be interesting if we had a fairer tax system, & I wonder how many of those dead set against it would up sticks & bugger off to another country if that happened. Quite OK for others to pay their fair share(or preferably more) but they're none too keen on doing so themselves.
The older I get, the more I think we need to emulate as far as possible, those Scandinavian countries which have high taxes to cover education, health welfare, housing etc. etc. & whose people feature inevitably at the top of those 'happiest people' surveys.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
