Another Brit Threatens to Become an Ex-Patriot

I recently saw a nice bio piece on Michael Caine. He's a very busy actor, even at 76. Caine is not too pleased with the new British tax rate:

"The Government has taken tax up to 50 per cent, and if it goes to 51 I will be back in America," he said at the weekend. "We've got 3.5 million layabouts on benefits, and I'm 76, getting up at 6am to go to work to keep them."

He better hurry before our tax rates pass theirs.

Yesterday Andrew Lloyd Webber basically made the same threat.
