Funny thing TAX........the more you work, the harder you drive yourself, the more ambitious you are........the more you pay. The more you sit on your backside, do nothing, don't care whether or not you do well in life.......the less you pay. Not exactly the greatest system or encouragement to those who have to keep the rest now is it ??

Yes, I'm all for Joe Bloggs who grafts for eight hours a day on a building site, or spends his working life cooped up in a factory sweating over some boring lathe or conveyor belt, getting a bit of tax relief. But those people can't afford the expensive accountants that multi-millionaire spud head can. And don't tell me he works for a living. Cavorting around on a stage warbling pop ditties for dewy-eyed pubescent females, or sitting on his backside writing love songs (Lennon did that on the back of a napkin while he was waiting for his starter to arrive), and swanning around mustering up turns for the Queen's Birthday Jubilee. I'd hardly call that 'working', would you ?
