That's not exactly unpredictable behavior from you Mr. Williams.  That
is pretty much the view of the right wing on a global basis.

You believe that if we just back off and let everyone look after
themselves it'll all be much better.

I'd be happy with not taxing the poor - but how do you define poor,
what's the cut off.  Right now we have a system that isn't balanced,
at one end it has zero income, zero tax and the other end it has
infinite income, 40% taxation.

Would discuss more but I have to listen to the Now show (Radio 4)
mocking the tories :-P
