Why do the nations so furiously

When I read that UK Treasury Minister David Gauke thinks that paying cash to someone for a service is 'morally wrong' on the grounds that they may or may not pay tax on the money, I automatically assumed that he was a LibDem - no Conservative could mouth such an illiberal sentiment, surely?

He is a Conservative. But of course I was forgetting that he is in the Treasury, where they believe as an article of faith that every single citizen outside Whitehall and a good few within it is a criminal. Well, I have news for Mr Gauke: it's he that is the criminal; he and every other Treasury denizen that subjects British citizens to extortionate, grasping tax rates to raise money to be spent on futile, wasteful redistributive programs.

He should be ashamed of himself. Perhaps the hostile response to his gauche remark may convince him that he was wrong, but don't count on it.

They are all petty tyrants in the Treasury, and exceedingly arrogant besides. As for Mr Gauke, he is already dead meat. You know what a GAAR is? It's an ugly name for an ugly thing. It means that when a country can't maintain a tax regime that is acceptable to its businesses, it gives itself powers to take steal money wherever it chooses. There is nothing wrong with tax avoidance, if done within the law.

So a rule that is against it is against natural justice. Possibly, just possibly, in a country where the rule of law is clearly and firmly established and the courts uphold the law regardless, a GAAR can be justified. The UK is going to have one, as a poor substitute as an enforcement mechanism for lower taxes.

We may call it a Robin Hood tax: let's take money from the rich and give it to the poor. Not that they will give it to the poor in India; they will give it to themselves. Shame on Switzerland for falling over and playing dead on the issue of OECD group information exchange. I suppose it's because it wants to solidify its deals on withholding taxes with the source-countries of its richest clients, which enshrine privacy, or so it hopes, and doesn't want any aggravation with the OECD in the meantime.

Just to be clear, under the OECD's new and unacceptable rule, a country can ask for information about a group of people identified only by their characteristics and not individually names. How about: every Russian national? Let's hope that the Swiss people demand a referendum as they can and put up two fingers to the OECD, which has become one of the nastiest organizations on the planet. Methodology: each week this is the 12th three countries are given encomiums and three are given execrations.
