Nobody ever explains where the money will come from when the case is made for expenditure increases anywhere. There is, however, the sweeping claims made by Labour and the Greens etc when demanding more for public services the NHS, Education and so on. Its always talk about punitive taxes on the rich, that won't happen without draconian measures imposed on everyone to ensure Business owners (and I mean the very rich) have very severe restrictions preventing them from circumnavigating any new tax laws forcing what? Never ending rounds of windfall taxes, massive levies and so on. We would need to be more like the Marxist state which the British left still seem to crave but without a thought for how that will affect us all generally.
