Lower Tax - More Growth

Those who still believe that increasing tax in order that the government can spend more is good for the country ought to look at the situation in Australia.
Each state has its own tax regime, and it is reported in the Australian that the two states with the lowest taxation are attracting businesses and have the greatest growth. Businesses are free to move without any problems within Australia, and this surely demonstrates what happens in a free market.
Cameron and Osborne please take note!

Australian General Election

I read that the new Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has decided to call a general election, having taken over from Kevin Rudd following a coup within the Australian Labour Party.
At least the Australians are getting a say, unlike this country under Brown.
I think there is a lot to be learnt from some of our ex-colonies as far a democracy is concerned, Australia, New Zealand and of course the United States!
