One New Law

I’ve been trying to get to the bottom of where the government raises money and where it spends it!

With a certain amount of help from Evan Davis, I’ve been able to get most of what I want, but it was very very difficult. For instance do you know that the government raises three times as much from Air Passenger Duty than Inheritance Tax?

Just as I have to publish a simple set of accounts for the Inland Revenue about what I earn and my expenses, then so should the government publish a two page report for us, its shareholders!

So let’s have that enthrined in law!

We’d all be surprised and possibly horrified!
