Spicer: "Mr. Howe must suffer from memory loss"

POLITICO | During a governmental briefing, Press Secretary Spicer answered to allegations made by a UKIP MP on the current tax policy. 
"The government remains steadfast in it's conviction that our taxcode must reflect the needs of ordinary people, and that our progressive framework is the only viable way by which to maintain fairness and equality in our society. The honourable Mr. Howe must suffer from some sort of long-term memory loss I'm sure -- considering the current tax code isn't the works of a radical socialist administration. Quite the opposite, the Federal Income Tax Reform Act and the Corporate Tax Reform Act are the bipartisan effort of the UKIP-Labour coalition under former Chancellor Merkel. Even she, a conservative, was aware of the ridiculous discrepancies, fallacies and loopholes in the former tax code, one which grossly benefitted the rich and corporations at the expense of a battered middle and working class. These reforms saw growth in the economy, a sizeable cut of the deficit and addressed decades of decadent fiscal policy. It is now the remnants of the Rudd-branch of the party, the one fixated with burdening anyone else but the well-to-do, that has crawled it's way up the leadership ladder once again to desecrate the work of one of it's most illustrious leaders. This was the work of a strong national coalition, one of compronise and of pragmatism. Statements made by current officials show UKIP's abandonment of these basic principles of governance. It is not our tax code which is dragging down our economy, it is almost a century of reckless military spending and this horrible war which have as expected dealt a heavy blow to our finances. This is something which neither he, nor the FCB, seemingly want to acknowledge. This is the main reason for the need of sizeable reform to our economy, kickstarted by the introduction of securities by the treasury, and the only way forward in our ever changing world. Defaulting to medieval economics of simply slashing services left and right is draconian and a disservice to the people which elected these individuals."
