Tax, tax and yet more tax

Some harsh words from Irwin Stelzer on Greedy Gordon's tax policies. He ends on a forlorn note:

There you have it. Gordon Brown, a disciple of the great Scot [ed: Adam Smith], violating all his principles of tax. No amount of speeches professing love for entrepreneurs and concern for the average citizen can explain that fact away. Sadly for Britain, the Tories have no alternative on offer.
