ENGLAND IS HEADING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION

There's actually no wonder why England is falling off the cliff. According to an advisor of Tony Blair, high taxes are necessary to make a nation happy. One can only hope – for Britain's sake – that he is wrong in his assumption that hate-and-envy are compelling emotions for the people of the United Kingdom:

David Halpern, who advises the Prime Minister on social issues, said the redistribution of wealth is the key to a nation's contentment. …Mr Halpern, who works in the Prime Minister's strategy unit, said that people are unhappy if they see others earning more than them. He argues if we want a happier society the Government should reduce the gap between rich and poor. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/tax-advice/income-tax/article.html?in_article_i d=409205&in_page_id=77
