re: #426 Obdicut

In 2009, Caine openly criticised the Labour government’s proposed new 50% tax on top earners:

“The Government has taken tax up to 50 per cent and if it goes to 51% I will be back in America. They have reached their limit with me and that’s what will happen to a lot of people. You know how much they made out of that high taxation all those years ago? Nothing. But they sent a mass of incredible brains to America. We’ve got 3.5 million layabouts laying about on benefits, and I’m 76, getting up at 6 am to go to work to keep them. Let’s get everybody back to work so we can save a couple of billion and cut tax, not keep sticking it on.”
