Tax man wants to rob banks

The taxman wants powers to take money out of your bank account if they feel that you aren’t paying enough tax as they think you should. This is despite the fact that government tax errors have hit 1 million people so they must be doing something wrong.

Gordon Brown decided to do something similar in March when he decided that if you leave your bank account dormant for 15 years he could pillage it of all the money. I wouldn’t put anything passed him. He will probably allow the tax man to do it.
