This country's long term health would benefit from more taxation about as much as Any Winehouse's would from a bottle of gin and a few pipes of crack.

To get the public finances in shape and to cut the national debt we need to cut spending.

The very rich probably don't pay as much tax as Polly Toynbee would like - but they're also mobile.

Unless I'm missing something, the 'Download Podcast' link for this debate links to the conversation with Gore Vidal instead of this debate.
