It's a cliché, but isn't it funny how "making tough decisions" in government always involves hurting people who are in no state to fight back, rather than those who would feel no pain through being taxed?

Yeah - wouldn't the *actual* tough decision be to take on the vested interests that would attack you like anything through all the usual newspaper columns (see also, the recent crap about putting VAT on private school fees)
"- always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless." George Orwell Nineteen Eighty-four
