Original Note:
• Paraphrased 1975 quote by Margaret Thatcher. • Quote belies the fact that Conservative governments also spend the tax revenue it describes as "other people's money." • As an issuer of currency/bonds the UK state does not have to rely on a 1:1 ratio of taxes to spending. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn06167/
