The rich are always with us.

I have had my differences with Polly Toynbee. I was once moved to write to the Grauniad to accuse her of stirring up apathy in the middle classes. She had penned an article containing a disparaging reference to community credit unions. Strangely, it was published. I have refrained from corresponding with national newspapers ever since, preferring to sit in a darkened room with a damp towel over my head. I now feel it is only right to give her and David Walker credit for a little book Unjust Rewards. Some very nice ideas and some very interesting results. I particularly liked the suggestion that, effectively, tax returns should become documents of public record.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours!
