When he outlined his jobs program on Sept. 7, President Obama lamented that "a few of the most affluent citizens and corporations enjoy tax breaks and loopholes that nobody else gets." Now, Obama is proposing to take away from millions of high earners some of the tax breaks that everybody gets.

thats strange ...our government are proposing to reduce the tax level on the highest earners ...they figure that the high earners are the job creators and so need encouraging to set up businesses in england rather than another part of europa ...seems like the BIG PUDDING sees it differently
