Re: Re Amazon
@ Olius
I understood that meaning, but people can decide that the shop is too pricey now and move on, so the analogy doesnt work. Instead the gov is stealing money from people. Some people keep their money out of reach of the grubby mits of the gov even if it costs them to do so because it is cheaper to pay for security than to let the thug take the money. Instead of demanding the thug stops the people seem to argue for the thug to take more, just please not from us.
The gov spent up. It doesnt matter how much money they could have had coming in they would have spent it and more. It was bad policy, bad economics, lack of financial capability which caused this problem NOT the legal avoidance of tax. The problem needs addressing but the problem is not grabbing more tax money through higher tax.
