Re: Corbyn's kerfuffle

Some people clearly need reminding what happened the last time Labour imposed a super tax.

Quote:
Britain's tax regime in the 1970s was one of the most punitive in the world and triggered an exodus of entrepreneurs and highly-paid stars such as David Bowie, who went to live in Switzerland, and the Rolling Stones, who left to record in the South of France.

A ceiling on earnings would have exactly the same effect on these same people. A moral victory far outweighed by an economic disaster the worst affected by which would be the ordinary man in the street not the likes of Corbyn's Islington elite.
