I think the Government should double tax the home you live in
because probably wastes energy.

To paraphrase Mr. Milne with the view toward Washington, DC:

"yup, the reason the UK, Europe and the US go down the toilet, is because
every time somebody whines that somebody else should have prevented
something, another "safeguard" gets put in place and more taxes raised to
pay for it. We will all go to hell in a handbasket, with a howling mass of
bureaucrats baying at our heels.."

You may notice that I didn't change a word...
