More theft

Governments never cease in their ability to extract our money from us. Here's an article that many business owners won't find amusing. Governments at all levels tax us cradle to grave. The founding fathers are turning over in their graves. I'll put up with it for a little while longer, then I'm leaving the empire. My tax free, no armed forces future locale is already picked out. It's small, quiet, and it's not a target.

Is this the big one?

It is 15 years since Britain last suffered a recession. But now the housing market is slumping, oil prices are soaring and a credit crisis is paralysing the banking world. Are the conditions right for a 'perfect economic storm'?

Gordon Brown says Britain should brace itself for the impact of global financial turbulence. The Financial Times warns that the outlook for the economy is the worst it's been since the dotcom bubble burst at the beginning of the decade. Retailers fear that the Boxing Day stampede to the sales was the last gasp for the consumer before a prolonged period of belt-tightening.
