The Thrifty and the Shifty

Is there no end to the perfidy of mere experts? Some irresponsible and backsliding persons have carried out research into the levels of tax-dodging practised by the richest households, even though we have it on the authority of Boris Johnson that the perils of such households in today's world are equivalent to the perils faced by European Jews during the rise of the original, non-banana-straightening Nazis. The researchers found that the richest households dodge more than ten times as much tax as their persecutors in the wider population; however, their research is flawed by being restricted only to the Scandinavian countries, where the privacy of the wealthy counts for nearly as little as the proles' privacy in the United Kingdom. Any statistics which omit the weapons-grade innocence of British squillionaires' magic money tree must necessarily be a grotesque distortion of the truth; and given such disregard for the facts, one must wonder what atrocities will accompany the next stage of this pogrom. Isolation from the luxury of contact with the lower classes, except perhaps for a servant or two? Forcible bling and compulsory media ownership? Their own private climate? When the politics of envy take hold, nothing is too awful to contemplate.
