What on earth possesses the likes of Duncan Ballayntane the multi millionaire to support Labour and specifically the Milliband proposal to scrap domicile status for tax purposes? It can surely only be confused thinking and a desire to be seen as a good person in the eyes of the public when of course it is an abject unforgiveable betrayal of all the principles Ballantyne applied to be the success he is :independence of mind,rugged determinism,entrepreneurialism, non-dependence on state assistance.
This sorry episode is a salutary reminder that when it comes to defending liberty and the limited state there will be no assitance from the very people who depend on it most,the businessmen and entrepreneurs who are totally schizophrenic in these matters,applying as they do logic and reason in their business life and throwing them away in their politic affiliations in an unfocused orgy of altruistic sentiment.
