When you're talking about people who feign anger while trying to rob strangers blind, you could be talking about Philip Green and people like him.
Philip Green is (allegedly) asking his workers to increase their pension contributions by 50% AND (allegedly) work longer before they're entitled to retire in that scheme, AND he's been accused of running sweatshops. At the same time he's (allegedly) dodging his own taxes AND (not allegedly) is telling the government not just how to cut the public spending but also HOW TO INCREASE TAXES DOWN THE LINE.
Now, I don't care that he's rich, or successful, or knows a few tax loopholes, or doesn't appear to be particularly popular. I do care that he is being paid to tell the government how to take MY money out of MY wage packet while HE squirrels HIS away through some offshore fiddle.
Can I just remind you of something? TEA. Taxed Enough Already. Unless I've massively misunderstood the TEA Party raison d'etre, you'd be protesting the guy on that basis alone.
Would you give an Obamacare stooge a free pass simply because you learnt he was a megarich dude?
Are you really suggesting that even richer Obamacare supporters who are already making damn sure their workers pay for Obamacare while they ensure their own personal platinum-plated non-Obamacare cover package increases in value year after year, shouldn't be protested?
The day Philip Green pays the taxes he should ALREADY be paying, is the day he'll be qualified to advise the government on what I, and millions like me, should be paying. If he's not paying his taxes I don't see why I should have to pay mine!
Who’s the thief, the guy trying to take what isn’t his or the guy trying to protect what is his? Phillip Green is a saint compared to the communist layabouts who think they have a right to take all Green has, all you have and all I have.
