All the classics of doublespeak:

"MIGHT NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE PLAN?.....DOESN'T EXPECT THE TAX SITUATION WITH BDC DIVIDENDS TO BE CHANGED....IT IS OUR VIEW THAT THE AIM OF DIVIDEND TAX RELIEF .... In fact, IF THE DIVIDENDS OF COMPANIES LIKE ALLIED ARE EXCLUDED FROM TAX RELIEF, IT COULD PROVE TO BE A NEGATIVE..."

Once you toss out the filler and distill the passage down to the qualified conditional phrases, it doesn't pass for warm crapola to a horsefly on a sunny day.

In other words, the author hides behind rhetorical BS to play on somebody's fear factor. Doesn't wash in my book. I spent years in the government PR machine cranking out this nonsense, it looks very familiar.
