The problem is the current one has abused our system to bind us for at least 50 years having never asked first.Man in a Shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00990902055642035293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9565399.post-42276745011729406972009-04-21T08:39:00.000+01:002009-04-21T08:39:00.000+01:00I was thinking about one of your earlier suggestio...I was thinking about one of your earlier suggestions about how to guarantee financial rectitude from our government.<br /><br />Here's my suggestion: Governments go into elections with a manifesto that clearly lays out the tax rates and changes they will implement, along with the absolute borrowing they will make. They are not allowed by law to deviate from their manifesto commitment without either a Referendum or calling a new Election. When financial situations change, (and they will), they will be forced to do what the rest of us have to do and cut their coat according to their cloth. Either that, or ask our permission to raise taxes.<br /><br />After all, if you have a tradesman in to do some work you don't give him a blank cheque, do you?<br /><br />Meanwhile, Gordon "is a moron" Brown's is continuing with his Scorched Earth financial insanity:<br /><br /><A HREF="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/james_delingpole/blog/2009/04/20/welcome_to_gordons_gtterdmmerung_" REL="nofollow">Gordon's Götterdämmerung</A>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948105455433369982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9565399.post-71082617044361374562009-04-20T20:59:00.000+01:002009-04-20T20:59:00.000+01:00You summed it up beautifully.
