The capital tax, as Howard calls it - and this is no doubt a good wording - but could, I suppose, equate to confiscation, considering that the word fiscal means tax...would not be a 100% tax on financial assets, and the richest would by all means remain rich (financially).
It's not a case of whether you live in a castle or have a few mansions, but whether one person can privately own tens of million or hundreds of millions of pounds worth of financial assets.
At the end of the day, if there is a State Emergency owing to financial collapse of Society, with the risk of revolutions breaking out in Europe for the same reasons, because the State is falling apart and can no longer offer essential services, then one should treat this equal to an Emergency in time of War, when you cannot just say: this is mine, that's mine, and I don't care about the others.
When the British and also allied soldiers were evacuated from Dunkirk, many owners of private boats did not consent to their craft being simply taken by the Government and used to evacuate our soldiers and allies. But the Government simply took them and used them, else we may have waved good-bye there and then to Freedom and surrendered because of the egoism of some people who don't seem to realise that there are times when the Country comes first.
Others willingly came forward with their craft, and went a step further, and risked their lives piloting them to Dunkirk and back. They didn't say: this is MINE, that's MINE and buggar to the Country and everyone else!
A revolution could break out any time in Europe, somewhere, and spread like wild-fire, and all because countries have gone bankrupt, and Austerity is being inflicted on the masses, while the super rich sit there and are allowed to hoard private financial assets.
But by then it would be too late!
Hopefully our Government will do the right thing and treat the situation we are in with the utmost urgency and priority. We need a Wealth Distribution Act to save Society from Desolation.

Paul, I don't know what you're trying to say there, but the information I gave comes from Dover Museum. If you don't believe it, try informing yourself in Dover Museum.

lighten up alex, just a joke about your typo that you have since corrected.
you must admit it would have been a spectacular sight, the germans wouldn't have been able to shoot for laughing.

I am not sure whether Alexander's ambition is to be a fascist dictator or a communist dictator. He is very Stalinist in his outlook so perhaps more to the latter but he certainly has elements of both in his make-up.
Thankfully he will never get the chance to be either and in so doing destroy the UK economy and we are all safe from him.

#62, these would have been flying boars, presumably?

So Barry! You have declared me a public enemy, and perhaps I am on a proscription list.
I suppose the State will first examine your statements to see whether they correspond.
It wouldn't be British to use false allegations to go and eliminate a person from being of service to the Public.

Alexander - you are not important or significant to be public enemy no 1 or be on any kind of list. That is the kind of thing your totalitarian state would do. No, you are just a 'bod' with weird, extreme and unsavoury views who thankfully will never be in a position to do what you want to do.

I see that John Major said the same as me yesterday about economic recovery. If you look beyond the headlines it is there. Fragile maybe but it is happening and Osborne needs to reinforce it and speed it up in the ways I have previously said.

barryw
to be fair sometimes your postings are a bit over the top, although i understand your frustrations with some posters.
But no matter how many times i post it i will again, everyone has right to post with many differing views on what the feel to be correct/incorrect.
alexander;
just because barryw may disagree with you(as you admit you dsagreee with barryw) doesn't mean your enemy number 1
all it means is,,,,,,,,,,you disagree !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But Keith - My economic perspectives are mainstream among the economically literate who are not held down by socialist dogma.

Keith - the answer to the poor not getting poorer is a healthy economy and work. Labour's only answer is benefits and it is those that keep people poor with high spending damaging the economy.

If they are not done then 4m plus could easily be reached. You have no answers to the substantive points Keith.

"the substantive points"
What's with the 'the'? Do you not mean, Barry, 'my' substantive (view) points?
Your first instinct, as far as I can discern, is to create a workforce dependent on the crumbs from the well-stocked tables of the so-called wealth-creators. Some 10,100 multi-millionaires in the UK, so I read:what else can they be waiting for, other than a queue of coolies-nouveau at their door?
The other wheeze is to create a whole new (for the UK) swathe of 'Private enterprises' on the public dole in the areas of Health and Education.
"We cannot have the poor getting the assistance so richly deserved by the private sector!" Seems to be your message.
