# Toasty ... I didn't identify you as a pixel nazi
this board needs more posters

comments like that doesn't help the cause.

[challenge entry] Well that's a very interesting point but it's not to be confused with the new jersey tax havens
or the jersey cow fax avoidance scheme or the cross charged plus rate accumulator scheme that's widely available in..... what's that? you want a 10 year old repost? Ok then

# it's quite clever of cameron really
publicly shame a few well known names into sorting out their tax while leaving the loopholes open so his mates can keep their low tax rates.

Requires almost zero effort from him, diverts attention elsewhere and bizarrely he looks like the good guy

# I'm hoping he's walked into a trap.
By declaring it immoral, he's going to have to justify the behaviour of his friends and family (and the fact he is doing nothing to close the loophole).

It's a popular story - hopefully the Times will run with it and name and shame MPs next.

# soon as they pulled the "there are some civil servants on several hundred thousand barely paying tax" lark I knew that something was up
There's a lot of folks on under 20K a year exploiting tax loopholes, I suspect these are the real targets of all this OMG TAX brainwashing.

And yes, if I had an income of 2 million a year and I could pull only paying 100K in income tax, I'd do it.

# I agree.
Very few people would choose to pay more tax than they have to, especially if they know that other people in their position do not.

I don't even really see Jimmy as a hypocrite for taking the piss out of a system whilst benefiting from it - he may still believe the loophole needs to be closed.

That recent Stephen King "tax me" letter got it spot on with regards to why individuals acting morally cannot do much.

# He's being shamed into doing something he doesn't want to do - which is to apologise for doing absolutely nothing wrong.
And David Cameron seems remarkably keen to repeat his rabbit-in-the-headlights moment at the Leveson inquiry, when he realised his entire political career was under very close scrutiny, and decided the best way out of it was to look flustered and sip more water than any innocent man ever would.

# Dick.
David Cameron I mean. How dare he come out and - unprompted - say something like that about Carr when in April he flatly refused under questioning to go into the morality of his new government advisor's dealings - "it is not appropriate for me to discuss an individual's tax position".

news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9715000/9715304.stm

So the tax avoidance schemes that were Cameron's father's line of business, through which he amassed a personal fortune in excess of £10M are OK but this scheme is bad is it?

And while I'm on the subject, since when were stand-up comedians supposed to set the moral compass for the nation FFS?

Carr's f&cked up. He's manned up. He's apologised. Let's hear every other tw@ who's used this or similar schemes do the same.

# The sad thing is that people seem
to be more angry about Carr's hypocrisy than the shitty tax laws.

If he hadn't done that bankers sketch, I bet no one would have cared.

Wish Carr had tried to turn it back on Cameron in his apology, though.

# I think that sums it up for me now
It's entirely possible the guy who gave him economic advice didn't actually point out a few minor details, and as long as he said "Oh don't worry, it's all perfectly legal and above board," then why would anybody not go for it?
