I’d like to see them do that in the U.S. This is just the reason why we’ve got a Second Amendment.

Now taxman gets the power to turn up unannounced to your home and demand to see tax records

Taxman won't go to the dangerous neighborhoods.

"one for you, nineteen for me, .....'cause I'm the tax man..."

Turns out the Beatles were prophetic.

That crap could cause a lot of job openings over here.

Silly. The tighter they squeeze, the more money slips through their fingers.

If the tax bills weren’t so high, then people wouldn’t feel the need to dodge so much.

England is finished.

Next will come debtor’s prison if you cannot pay your taxes at the doorstep. Unless you’re Muslim, and then you get special dispensation.

Why do you think they confisgated all guns over the last few years in the U.K.
So the revenuers would last a fews years in the job.

The end of England.

Do you suppose they’ll make “lightening” raids on houses with NRA stickers on the front window?
