One simple way to ease the pain – cut taxes
Mr Boom (Brown) and Mr Bust (Darling) have achieved the recession that their Labour economic policies were always going to deliver – as Merv ‘the Swerve’ and Mr Boom admitted in the last few days. Now, having created a bad situation for the country’s economic and financial position, can they perhaps ease the pain?
Alas, no. Their economic policies have very much been about government intervention – the bank bailouts, nationalisation, the ‘spend our way out of the recession’, and Keynesian (a swear word if ever there were one) spending on public works.
There is one way by which this gutless Government could ease the pain. It is quite simple. They should cut taxes.
But unfortunately that is beyond the leftwing ideologues who run the country. Their socialism has been revealed, as the only way they know how to respond to an economic downturn.
How much longer people in the UK have to suffer from Labour’s policies is anyone’s guess. Tax cuts are the only way to ease the pain, but this lot aren’t going to deliver those.
Will anyone?

The Wilted Rose 
Hi! I’m writing from Neuron Global, a knowledge processing and reporting company, whose clients include; Harvard University, the World Bank, MIT, Stanford University and The Society for Organizational Learning.
Currently, we are creating a Special Report on the Current Economic downturn. I am writing you today because we are still in the process of finding out what issues and fears are at the forefront of people’s minds and we very much need help in collecting this research.
We aim to develop a timely white paper, available online, that answers critical questions like:
1. What lessons from economic downturns in the past can be applied to today?
2. What information do I need to know to survive & thrive in a prolonged recession?
3. What are things that I can do to maintain my lifestyle while cutting my costs?
Of course, the feedback from the questionnaire will be pivotal in providing other key sections in the report and creating knowledge of value that best speaks to people’s concerns.
I would like to ask for your help since I strongly believe that (blog name) will be a great medium to get different viewpoints of real value.
We are requesting that you include our questionnaire link in one of your recent recession-related blog entries. In return, we will give you and your readership a free report on Lessons Learned from the Great Depression, valued at $19.95.
The link below connects to the Neuron Global’s survey questionnaire:

Thank you for your time and consideration.
I completely agree, a cut in direct taxation, coupled with a substantial reduction in interest rates, perhaps 2 to 2.5%, would be the best stimulous for this economic recession, given people would feel that they have more money on their pocket and would reinvest this into the economy. It is much better than bringing forward PFI projects, which I dislike anyway, because this would only benefit the construction industry and would, in any event, be an unnatural stimulus.
I simply cannot understand why government is so against allowing us to keep more of our own money. A reduction of 5p in the £, would ‘cost’ the government £40bn over 5 years, a small price to pay for financial stability. I would like to see some of the other parties suggest something similar.
