Rules and customs don't apply to Vetty. It's part of this "Marine Corps Honor" horseshit he's always lecturin' us about. You know, it's not a war crime when a Marine murders babbies.

I wanted them to tax capital gains at income tax rates.

Why would you want that?

So billionaires don't pay lower tax than nurses.

I just read a book about the Brit Bureaucrats and their Brittanic Blunders, but theyve always spent a pound for a penny of anything. Look at how their bureaucrats fomented revolution in America chasing pocket change from the Colonials.

Not just the bureaucrats. One of the UK's political parties was responsible for 'No taxation without representation'. Many of our legislators, but unfortunately not a majority at the time, considered that the 13 colonies should have representation at Westminster, and more power over taxation in America.

The earliest example of bureaucratic incompetence in Britain caused Boudicca's revolt against Roman rule. The Roman taxmen wrongly considered the Iceni to be a conquered state, not a formal ally of Rome, so sent taxmen to extract money as if they owned the Iceni...
