First thing Nick is that any comment of mine with that winky smilie 
on the end you should not take too seriously.

Perhaps my sense of humour is getting too obscure, but it struck me 
as ironic that you criticised our government for not knowing 
what is best for 'our' tax maney.  Yet your previous post 
started:

"This gold market

A bunch of us have been hyping it for months now and have
been rewarded for our speculation." 

I drew the connection between the two posts that in your opinion the 
nation would be a lot better off if they cancelled taxes and gave 
everyone their tax money back so they could speculate in gold.   

I don't doubt that some do profit by speculating in gold.  But I can 
just imagine sixteen year olds who have just left school, people who 
attend bingo nights, and those who bet on the horses all suddenly 
becoming experts in gold trading and blowing all their dough.  Or 
stashing gold bars under their bed and getting them nicked leaving 
the government with no tax money to support them!  The fact that the 
government hasn't pulled the plug on all facets of community aid to 
invest in gold on behalf of these people I see as a good thing.

Have a good week Nick, but don't be too serious over it.
