Okay, so “teachers, nurses, doctors, and firefighters” may not have “crashed the stock market, wiped out banks, [or taken] billions in bonuses” but do these people honestly think that they pay tax?
All they do is hand back some of the taxpayers money that they have been given.
As for wiping out the banks, that’s only our problem because Gordon made it our problem. And the corrupt system that leads to stock market crashes and obscene bonuses would not exist were it not for government interference in markets.
Sorry … a bit too earnest for a jolly post like this … time for a double espresso.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.
Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.
He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that
“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
