  Well really, what you need is a response from New Labour.
  
  You do seem to take it as read that higher taxes equate to reduced revenue. That being so I wait with you for the green shoots of a renewed burgeoning of our economy shortly after April 1st.
  
  For myself, I question the wisdom of the HMRC falling upon it's sword over the tax due, but it's collection not pursued, with the likes of Vodafone etc.
  Quite why you cannot see the similarity of the plea for lower taxation with the much vaunted, but never realised, promise of the Trickle-Down-Effect in Thatcher's time, for it seems plain to me.
  Of one thing we all can be certain;any reduction in the tax rate will benefit some (and Barry himself) immediately. The promised benefits to the rest of the country and to the exchequer are just that, 'promises'...later to be termed 'aspirations'...and then to be forgotten...again.
