So Scotland will abolish Council Tax, says Alex Salmond, and a good move by the SNP.
This highly unpopular and unjust tax has to go the way of the Poll Tax instituted by Margaret Thatcher (which was exceedingly unpopular at the time). A local income tax makes far more sense and is not unlike the State Tax used in the United States. However, it remains to be seen whether each council will be free to set its own rate of tax. Another first for Alex Salmond. Scotland will also follow Wales by abolishing most hospital parking fees. You know it makes sense!
"The Nineteenth century saw a great Springtime of Nations as the revolutions of 1848 saw new countries created the length and breadth of Europe. In our world today we are now seeing our own Spring Awakening with people and cultures that have long been dormant and subdued asserting their right to exist, their right to dream." Adam Price MP
