It's here! It's finally here! The (first) day #AdamSmith talks about taxes in #WealthOfNations!
We're assuming there's a group for whom this is exciting. We, the SmithTweeters, may not count ourselves among them. But let's go anyway! (V.ii.b) #WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets

Remember how Smith divided private revenue into rent, profit, and wages in the first book? Now he's gonna divide up taxes. Smith loves a good subdivision. Taxes can fall on:
1) Rent
2) Profits
3) Wages
4) All three indifferently. (V.ii.b.1) #WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets

He'll be dividing up three of these into further subdivisions, obvs. (V.ii.b.1) #WealthOfTweets #SmithTweets
Gosh, and there was me thinking that Boris was somewhat suspect on international relations. Khan and the blimp, this is infant school sand pit type stuff not a political protest of merit. I don't think I've seen UK reduced to an image of such juvenile behaviour before ->
... the problem of course is that any actual protest will now be undermined and this will be brought up again and again in the future. Slow hand clap.
Future of political demonstration is an annual carnival protest where people can bring their favourite blimps and floats to be adored by cheering crowds with prizes for the best display and plenty of lemon drizzle cake. Any actual message will be lost in the pageantry. #numpties
