    Starting to heavily tax people on savings will have the opposite effect and we will switch to spending now and not saving for retirement (the government's real financial time bomb) etc.
    Or more likely move heaps of savings out of banks and building societies into roll-up bonds until the govt changes - what price mortgage lending then..?

    It would also likely cause a run on sterling of biblical proportions as people dump the currency for things that cant be taxed.

    TBH - Being married doesnt help any either. Its only when you innoculate the planet with your crotch fungus that the government throws other people's money at you.
