• The post you are reporting:
   
  You have never run a business Tom and have no idea about how to set prices in a competitive market. It is all so simple to you, the fact is you hate private property, you hate the idea of people owning assets and you really do want everyone down the the lowest common denominator.
  
  You take the view that the demands of government should take precedence over us as individuals and our needs. I take the opposite view entirely. Government should not have the freedom to pick our pockets at will. I run a business and provide a service for a fee - the proceeds are mine for the delivery of that service. Not my client's money (I do not hold client money - a clear legal & regulatory distinction) and most certainly the products of my efforts do not belong to the government.
  
  The present government has taken measure against avoidance though, as usual, you choose to ignore the reality in favour of the fairy chasing to which I referred. One power, in particular, is a 'general power over avoidance' in an effort to place more retrospective power in the hands of HMRC. I find this quite disturbing and when the first case reaches the Courts it is to be hoped that judges will throw it out to protect individuals against over mighty government. Retrospectively applied law is tyranny and judges are supposed to be a balance against that.
