The Laffer Curve

It is a common misconception that, at some point, increasing tax rates will lead to lower revenues from taxes.

I leave you with this formula:
Tax revenue = Taxable income x tax rate

I see only one variable in this formula - the tax rate.

Therefore maximum revenue occurs at a tax rate of 100%. However this ignores the tax gap, which I have calculated to be in the region of £20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

In order to recover some of this gap, I propose a tax rate of 244%.

Book update

Having completed the first draft of "Tax the librarians: How to save any economy in one week" I have now discovered that its content is so ground-breaking that it will only be available on prescription through the NHS.

It's a shame, because this will limit the readership and the RRP. It won't make it into the libraries, which means the librarians won't learn the errors of their ways.

On with the next tome: "Stupid questions people have asked me", possibly followed by "Some answers to some of the stupid questions people have asked me". I haven't decided about the second book yet.

Ridiculous!

Some bloke on twitter with a worryingly familiar name seems to think I'm some kind of club for his trolls.

I am trying to boost my public profile by using this newfangled interweb and this is the respect I get. I am *trying* to write a book, and all I get is disrespect. I don't deserve your disrespect, the 6.8 billion people on this planet not paying UK taxes do. Go and give it to them - your disrespect, I mean, nothing violent.

Twitter Twits

I am getting a lot of abuse from twits on twitter.

They seem to think I'm some kind of joke. A load of trolls.

Bloody librarians are getting in the way of me writing my book. "Tax the Librarians: A way to fix any country in a week".

It's been a busy day in court, where I was expertly witnessing for whatever it was. They asked me lots of irrelevant questions, not like the good old BBC. I've no idea what was going on in their heads, but I hardly got on to my "Jail the tax avoiders" speech. That's a good one. In all honesty it would have been wasted on them, I'll save it for a more intelligent crowd.

Had to get the train home. Not as good as British Rail, of course. I sat in first class. I can do this without being hypocritical because I believe in a classless society. Well, so would you if you saw the scum in cattleclass. No manners.
