As we often point out to you hapless Readers, one of the curious and (so far) untaxed benefits of living in Anguilla is the ability to see the curious reflections of events up North in the bright mirror of Anguilla. And, of course, the reflection works both ways. In the States, despite big deficits, the Congress has just pushed through more tax cuts, but not without criticism. In Anguilla, where taxes are even more disdained than at a Republican convention, a big new tax bill has arrived, to a chorus of cries of pain from the affected. The Anguillian move has an aspect worth noting by those up North worried about re-election. You see, while the benefits of the Bush tax cuts (as they are usually called) accrue largely to the extensively rich, the Anguillian tax increase does not fall on Anguillians. There can't be a voter rebellion!
