Well here's Gordon Brown's thoughts on the economy in one simple paragraph.

Quote:
Appearing on GMTV, Mr Brown was asked about continuing criticism from business figures of the Government’s proposed NICs rises - which the Tories have portrayed as a "tax on jobs".
He replied: “I think they have been deceived. Because the big issue is: can we sustain the economy?”
“Britain is on the road to recovery. Don’t put that at risk. The Conservative’s policy would take £6 billion out of the economy. That is a huge sum of money to take out of the economy.”

No Gordon. Leaving £6 billion in people and businesses' pockets rather than taking it in tax and having the state deal with it is not taking it out of the economy it's leaving it in the economy. The only way to think otherwise is if one's opinion is that the state
is the economy which is a pretty extreme left-wing point of view. You old socialist you, finally and accidentally showing your stripes even if the previous 13 years of social engineering and state expansion didn't give it away.
So, New Labour, PM is a raving socialist,
deputy is a
raving extreme feminist and
social engineer extraordinaire, and
First Secretary of State needs no introduction.
Still of course large swathes of the population will vote for this. I am starting to doubt
natural selection more and more.
