A totally crazy idea. The tax office get's it wrong so often now.

I wouldn't trust hem with my taxes let alone having my pay.

Now, you talk about government control and where it's heading in the U.S. Well, the UK is ahead on that with this proposal.

Wow... I have a question for the Brits: do you have a choice in this issue?

Sounds rather like you have OUR leader, or perhaps a clone.

I really WOULD like to know the answer. When I was in England last year some of your countrymen wanted me to "say hello to Mr. Obama" and laughed when I said "ummm........NO. "

Just curious how autocrats are dealt with in other geographic locales.

How many of you Brits would the "There's one for you nineteen for me" jacking affect? Any millionaires here?

By the way, what is the taxrate for an average earning worker there? Let's say the equivalent of a $40,000 a year US income.

If the tax office did perform their work efficiently and correctly, wouldn't that be ideal? Let them do the work, or do you think that they'd screw up more often than not?

I wonder if this effect would cause more under the table compensation across the board.

Suppose we receive news slowly here. So, what happened with this? Tell us what happened.
