Comments on: A note to the Far Right http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2008/03/19/a-note-to-the-far-right/ Richard Murphy on tax and corporate accountability Wed, 03 Dec 2008 07:03:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Tax Research LLP http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2008/03/19/a-note-to-the-far-right/#comment-401452 Tax Research LLP Thu, 20 Mar 2008 11:17:44 +0000 http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2008/03/19/a-note-to-the-far-right/#comment-401452 Mr Eugenides If it appeases you, I'll apologise for my casual indifference towards the ideological nuances of the Far Right. It is howver an indifference that I am sure many would share. More than that, I'll go so far as to say that well over 90% of the supporters of the TPA would have no idea if it is libertarian, NeoCon or some other flavaour of anti-society extreme. And it's that threat to society that does worry me, and many others. It's also notable that not even the Tories think that any one of you have made a case for tax cuts right now. Why is that, I wonder? Could it be that there is no logic to your arguments, no support for your ideology and no democratic prospect of them ever holding sway? I rest my case. Mr Eugenides

All they ask is a basic minimum of accuracy. For example, I don't "care" whether you advocate a higher tax rate of 40%, 50% or 98%. But if I claimed the latter when your position is actually the former, you'd tell me I didn't know what I was talking about. And you'd be correct.
