Stephen King on Tax

[Graemsay]

Stephen King wants to pay more tax, and has a very funny rant about it.

There seems to be a bit of a debate going on about this in the US. Martin Wolf had a piece on it over at the FT recently.

For the best effect, once you've read it order the comments as "Oldest First", and check out Wolf's response to Japanese Banker.

King's 'disco inferno' line's a killer. ROTFLMAO.

But this from Wolf's article there was pretty wicked too -

At present, the far lower taxation of income from capital than from work makes the taxation of ultra-high incomes nugatory.

At this point, I suspect, many readers are having something like a heart attack.

Stephen King is a genius. This is just further evidence.

Nothing to do with Stephen King, but had me laughing just as hard.
