The UK government apparently “gets” how to help create jobs
Much more so than does the President of this country apparently:
Chancellor George Osborne has announced a number of measures to try to help business in his Budget.
Corporation Tax will be reduced by 2% from April 2011, rather than 1% as previously intended, and fall by 1% in the next three years, to reach 23%.
Mr Osborne also said that he was looking to boost enterprise and exports, as part of a Budget "for making things".
He said he also wanted the UK to be the best place to establish a company.
"Cuts in the burden of corporation tax, that will be worth around £2bn per annum when implemented over the coming years, are likely to be particularly beneficial for big multinational companies," said BBC business editor Robert Peston.
"And a significant lifting of planning constraints will delight much of the corporate sector."
He added: "With the corporation tax changes – and the recent pledge by Vince Cable to slash red tape – they represent a loosening of alleged shackles on the corporate sector."
And business body the CBI said the Budget would help business grow and create jobs.
Wow … what a concept. Cut business taxes and attract businesses, create jobs and actually increase government revenue.
Now, there’s a “jobs bill” for you.
‘Nuff said.

I don’t suppose if this works in the UK people like Slugman will pay any attention to it.
Erp!!! EU knuckle-dragger alert…!!!
The Collective is in danger of losing the Brits…!!!
Heck they are late to the party, most of the former soviet client states in eastern europe have flat taxes and they are quite low. Makes me wonder how much longer before we will be fleeing to the “free”nations of the east.
Polish chicks are HAWT, too…!!!!
