  Ahhhh so, you agree with me about simple, flat taxes..... well I never. That's the first time I have seen you say that. So why did you not say you agreed with me the many times I (and Ross) have advocated that? Perhaps because you are so tribal you cannot bring yourself to agree with those you see as enemy.
  
  As for stamping out 'avoiding tax legally'
  
  I assume you mean a non-earning wife being allowed to have the family savings in her name so no tax has to be paid
  Perhaps you also mean the ability to shelter savings from tax by using an ISA
  Perhaps you also mean tax relief on pension contributions
  Maybe you mean stopping tax relief on EIS and VCTs that encourage high risk investment into businesses
  Maybe you want to stop the use of trusts that aid the transfer of wealth to those who most need and deserve it
  Perhaps you want to stop me from telling a pensioner how best he or she can avoid the 'age allowance trap' with their savings
  Perhaps you want to punish small business owners who incorporate and use dividends as part of their remuneration to help their cashflow
  
  I could go on.
  
  So in your world doing what is legal and looking after yourself and your own first and foremost is wrong...
