“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

"The Richest Are Paying More Income Tax than Ever" (BBC)

1. Oh cry me a river.

2. This works the other way around than the spokesperson was claiming. If you earn a squillion pounds a year, then you may have to pay millions in tax. Big deal. You've got squillions left.

3. Did anyone think to recall the 90% top rate of tax in the later 60s? I thought not.
