Won't George learn the lesson? Wealth taxes simply don't work
The Daily Telegraph, 28/09/2012, p.26, Fraser Nelson
“Adam Smith is quoted, now and again, to make the point: it is time to tax earnings less, and wealth more; the nature of wealth is changing - so, too, should the tax system. Denis Healey once believed this, too. A wealth tax was in the 1974 Labour manifesto - and only now, thanks to declassified documents found by the London School of Economics, do we know what happened.”
