Done.

Why?

Taxation has to be raised from somewhere!

Fat CGT seems reasonable to me!

This is the wrong place to raise tax. By targeting Aim's long-term investors Darling is harming the UK's enterprise economy.

New Labour's PRUDENCE has produced the first bank run in 100 years and destroyed the pensions industry! Now they will destroy the stock markets and the UK oil industry through prudent taxation!

I don't know if they'll destroy the stock market but they'll certainly make it less attractive to investors in small companies. Aim was built by the private investor but the LSE is yet to put the case forward for maintaining taper relief.
