The Rebel Accountant, AKA Andy Ory, has launched his latest and fifth rap song as a timely reminder for the new PM Andy Burnham.
‘Can’t Tax This’ is an updated version of the 90s MC Hammer classic ‘Can’t Touch This’ in which Oury raps about the perils of a wealth tax. It can be viewed on his YouTube channel here: https://www.yout.ube.com/watch?v=2zY-DH3ThXU.
“If you tax the wealthy, they simply move their wealth offshore to tax havens,” he says. “And it’s a myth that wealth taxes hit only non-doms and trust-fund kids. The majority of wealth creators in this country are entrepreneurs, business owners and those founding and running companies. We need to encourage them, not drive them away.”
Oury launched The Rebel Accountant project in March of this year, combining his passion for creating music with his day job as an accountant (he works for Oury Clark), and with a mission to help educate people about tax.
