I suppose it would be interesting if:

Even the text shows just how little the Brits understand the Tea

"Rick Santelli and the traders on the floor of the CME Group express
outrage over the notion they may have to pay their neighbor's
mortgage, particularly if they bought far more house than they could
actually afford...."

That rant sparked "Tea Party" in modern times.

Al Jazeera is way ahead of Fox. Or CNN. Have you listened/watch it or
are you too bigoted? Have a listen & tell us what you think.

Pity that. I don't know why it's blocked. Maybe your own government.

Nah. You weren't paying any tax at all back then. It was nothing to
do with freedom. Except for the freedom of the rich to tax/oppress/
rob the poor.
Nothing changes in that respect in America.

That's funny, since the tax money was going to your king.

Nothing wrong with dodging taxes - it's the American way!

You see, our congress encourages it! How? you might ask.

Easy. The U.S. has the highest corporate tax rate in the world (as much as
51%). By having such a high tax rate, the government encourages companies to
funnel money through off-shore accounts. For example, Google, through the
"Irish Sandwich" (or somesuch) machination pays an effective tax rate of
2.5% instead of the normal corporate tax of 39%.

Not only that, but having such a high tax rate encourages corporations to
move entire portions of their business offshore, including manufacturing.
The net result is the government being responsible for companies moving
their production facilities to more hospitable climes.

The answer is to close loopholes and "special treatments". It's not the
nominal tax rate so much that is the problem, but the loopholes. Make
the tax rate say 25%, and close ALL the exceptions and special
treatments.

This is all very true, but the politicos *need* the money to buy

Well, yeah. But tax laws are designed to do two things: 1) Raise money
(usually) and 2) Advance or retard some social construct.

The government has given tax breaks for home mortgages like forever and is
now in the the thrall of tax breaks for energy efficiency.

My view is that tax laws should raise money. Period. Let the market decide
social goals.

I agree with some of your statements. "social construct" apparently also
includes benefits for very special people's businesses, since there are
some tax benefits enacted with very special conditions, only fitting a
very small coterie of Congress' friends.
