How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Escape from your responsibilities??? WTF is he on???A 50% tax rate on those earning over £150,000 doesn't shock me in the slightest. Indeed, it's about time those who have been making those kind of sums thanks to the misguided policies of Blair and Brown started paying something back to the country rather than by running to somewhere where they think they can escape from their responsibilities again. You mention France and its unrivalled early-age schooling and top quality health system - guess how they pay for it? Taxes!

I wouldn't call UK's taxes moderate, but the rest of western Europe's taxes are just as high or higher once you add them up.Originally posted by expat View PostMaking your money here but not wanting to pay the UK's relatively moderate taxes on it: that's what "escape from your responsibilities" means.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?
