50 years of rising taxes in peacetime
Dear Editor
If we go back and listen to the debate in the House of Commons,
when the idea of income tax was first discussed, it was quite obvious
that in those days, today's news about taxation, would have caused
a riot with bloodshed. We have sunk so low into apathy on the subject,
that the news is not even news. A minor item on a back page. This
means we have lost our will to survive and that we are now content
to succumb.
Our belly-up, pathetic acceptance of outrageous suppression, should
show us very clearly how close the end of this civilisation has
come. If we add to the burden of tax, the burden of debt, which
we all carry, trillions of pounds of it, then it is truly remarkable
the ease with which we have been manoeuvred by the money men into
complete subjection, with barely a sigh of protest. The tragedy
is, that if we leave waking up any longer, we shall wake out of
one nightmare, into another even more vicious nightmare, from which
there is no waking.
Doctor Edward C Hamlyn MBChB
