The Ethics of Taxation and The Rich List

Posted on July 29, 2011 at 10:39 AM

While I sprawled on the foot of the bed this morning listening to the radio  waiting for the slaves to wake up and prepare my breakfast I heard the most astonishing interview.

The latest addition to the Rich List which is published annually by a business paper, announced that the gap between the rich and poor is growing wider.     He said he would be happy to pay more tax to ensure the poor have good schools and hospitals. (The idiot doesn't realise that if politicians had more money to play with they'd probably spend it on hiring more staff and platinum plating their pensions before they thought of spending it on voters.)

I have a Radical and better suggestion.     If he wants to pay more tax then let him.     If however a slave doesn't want to pay above a reasonable minimum they shouldn't have to.    Seems fair doesn't it.     Mr Rich with a guilty conscience pays more to the government and others choose what to do with their money.

Declaration of personal interest:    I really really really don't want my slaves to have to pay more tax because then they might stop giving me treats and they might restrict my diet.      Imagine a life of nothing in the dinner bowl but Jellymeat.  

  Too depressing for words........

Kara tried to pay her taxes this year but the IRS sent it back with a note saying that 3 1/2 mice is not an acceptable tax payment. Kara was pissed. 3 1/2 mice was more than her fair share.

Greedy of the IRS to want the other 1/2 mouse. Dirty dogs.
