Tax and disincentive are inextricably linked. When will the tax-apologists realise that the more we tax business the less business is able to grow. We need a growing business community to create the jobs that our country needs. The BBC are in hypocritical position in relation to tax. The BBC itself is a tax, and a very expensive one at that. Someone in the higher echelons of Conservative party really ought to set up a body dedicated to pushing for the eventual privatization of the BBC.
