I wonder how all those countries with higher tax rates (personal and corporate) than the UK manage to survive? A quick google check throws up most of Scandinavia, half a dozen European states that seem to be doing fine, and a few East Asian success stories. Maybe the tax rates are not the whole story? Maybe there are other reasons people choose to work and pay tax in a particular country? Maybe where there is more of a collectivist culture and an experience of good quality infrastructure and public services even the rich twats choose to stay and join in?
are Scandinavian countries realising mass immigration is not good for them ? sure i read it in the granead
