Silly Identification Of Greed - How To Bring Down A Nation.

I have just read an obituary in The Independent  which pinpoints why we are in trouble as a nation.
It refers to the 'greed of the Thatcher & Reagan years'.
(What else would you expect in that leftist, non-independent rag?)

Just how simple do you have to be to fail to recognise that investment and growth = success for your nation? Without them - there can be no growth! There can be no sustainable public spending.

Just how simple do you have to be to fail to recognise that without incentives most entrepreneurs are not going to work themselves until they drop?

Just how simple do you have to be to fail to recognise that these are the REAL taxes that a nation receives. Just rotating money whilst printing it and not earning any is DOOMED to absolute failure!

By this thinking - investing for a good profit equates to 'greed'.

Some may be greedy but all alternative systems have proved unworkable!

Tax these people until, as Denis Healey put it, 'Til the pips squeak' guarantees the exit of capital to less stoopid competitors.

Sorry dunno where these underlinings magically appear from on occasions.
