										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://twitter.com/darrenf">Darren Foreman</a> was kind enough to point out an article detailing Gordon Browns Legacy on the BBC today:</p>
<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image"><a href="http://www.hjackson.org/blog/Gordon-Browns-Legacy.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" alt="Gordon-Browns-Legacy.jpg" src="http://www.hjackson.org/blog/Gordon-Browns-Legacy-thumb-250x241.jpg" class="mt-image-right" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 20px 20px;float: right" height="241" width="250" /></a></span></p>
<div>If you click on the image you will be able to see the full positive legacy that Gordon Brown has had on our country.</p>
<p>On a serious note Gordon was the Chancellor of the exchequer that allowed Tony Blair to basically spend spend spend his way to popularity. He sold the gold reserves for a quarter of what they where worth a few years later. But, to top it all off he has managed to increase total tax as a percentage of GDP from  39.3% in 1997 to 42.4% in 2006, going to a higher level than Germany. So the nation is now within 8% of actually working for the governement. How sad is that. I will soon be an employee of the state who happens to go to work for less than 50% of what I actually earn. No matter how you butter it, Big (read Natzi or Communist) government is just around the corner. When a government needs 42% of it&#8217;s national output to fund what it does the nation being run by that governement is in serious trouble.</p>
