following in the same vein of taxes, I last night watched the "childrens debate" on tv. it was great to see how knowledgable the Scottish youngsters are. after each answer the audience were asked for their comments, one young lady in her comment asked "it is known that Norway and Scandinavian countries have more oil than we supposedly have in Scotland, so why are their income tax rates at 47%?". this without a doubt was something that needed an answer but was not even commented on by either yes or no. please don't tell me that they cant answer for other countries tax systems. maybe she should have asked "as Norway is independent and have more oil wealth than we have, will we have to put our tax rates to 45+%?".
the only down side to the program were the idiot from the greens and Galloway who hav,nt a clue between them and the fellow in charge who asked for opinions from the audience and then ignored them. the youngsters of Scotland did themselves proud.
