Setting: The Future The government today announced that a new tax to be imposed on money gained from previous tax cuts. Speaking outside the Treasury, the Chancellor said: “After introducing our tax cuts last year we found that people had more money.  That increase in income led us to believe that we should tax it.  If we didn’t give

Today you will find 508 jobs in government as the adjacent table shows. It all costs money, money your council tax increase is going to (but not in Hammersmith and Fulham who will again cut their council tax this year)....

All day the idiotic Policy Exchange report on northern cities (message: close Liverpool down, it's the only language scousers understand) has been branded as coming from David Cameron's "favourite think tank" Policy Exchange. And so it has been with money flooding into PE as wealthy individuals and corporate Britain try to get alongside the Cameroons. There have been lots...

There is no government money. There is taxpayers' money and there is borrowed money. Obnoxious wastrels such as Charlie Gilmour can riot but tax receipts of £548bn and public expenditures of £697bn means his misplaced sense of entitlement is unaffordable.There is no fairy gold. The money belongs to the people.

Can someone explain to me what Goerge is getting at here? The issue is that capitalism involves lending money at interest. If you lend at 5%, then one of two things must happen.

Borrow to lend policy? Oh great the government has already ran out of cash, so it wants to borrow to lend more out, how helpful. Have they considered how the tax payer might be idemnified in the event of some companies going bust during the recession? Dimwit money junlies. :: :: :: :: ::

Another year, another set of tax returns submitted. ( I do it a week early to allow some time for winding up my brother who will be thumping keyboards as servers crash on the 31st Jan ). But where does the money go ? Part of the answer looks like being provided by this very easy to use web site Where does My Money Go ? It appears to be in development - but for all you Barnett Formula fans out ther...

Alex C, London But it isn't your money is it? It's tax payer's money and you are but one out of millions of tax payers. So the £5000 you are claiming is yours, it's actually more like 5000 divide...

Last November it occurred to me that money has to come from somewhere and if we don’t produce goods to exchange for it, the simplest thing is just to print it. At the time, I’d never heard of quantitative easing (my ignorance) but since then it’s become all the rage. Call it what you like, it’s still just printing money. And, as such, it is an abject admission of the Govern...
