Taxed til the pips squeak.

We always top the league tables the people do not want us to top . Whether this be on alcohol abuse, drug use, teenage pregnancies, crime, illegal immigration,there we are, looking down at all those nations less successful in climbing leagues than we are. Our Chancellor of the Exchequer will not care one jot that we now top the league for the highest taxation of property owners in the world. We pay 64% more than the French and 7 (YES SEVEN) times more than German homeowners.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development recently released these interesting stats.
With Gordon Brown it is "Every one a winner!"
You will be happy to know that it costs 70% more in Gordon's New Labour paradise to live in your own home than the world average.
"Well maybe they have higher taxation across the board on other things." - Wanna bet?

Remember the Lib Dems? They are the ones whose think tank came up with the idea of the 1% p.a. Council Tax on house values so that Gordon's rip off can be effectively doubled. Do you recall that politicians are supposed to be "the servants of the people?" - I wonder where that went wrong!
