Golden goose?

Have a read through some of Hansard HMRC is winding up companies to get its pound of flesh its money NOW, even though other creditors are happy to wait for their bills to be settled.

I'm sorry but isn't this rather stupid and short sighted? , most of us would have heard of the fable the Golden Goose, in that the owners end up killing it from their greed and end up losing the golden goose.

Isn't HMRC doing the same thing? Yes HMRC gets its hands on money but what about next year and the year after that and till eternity? Oops erm we've just killed the business. I know lets kill another one.

Makes no sense at all to me, although I hate this phrase, better to have something than nothing (as it is one of those hobsons situations whereby you are forced to settle for something). In this case it is better for the government to get something than nothing.

Yes they are killing their hens'. Although they get a veritable feast of chicken meat now, they will no longer have eggs and once the chicken meat runs out then what?
