Election Year or Fear!

Bottom to top: no basic issue with that despite its difficulty in being applied. But where’s the lower point? rA’s clarion call was simply ‘tax the rich’, let’s have some numbers

They don’t own the BBC, where most traditionalist go, and they don’t own the big social media platforms, where most non traditionalists go. I think the impact of print media these days is overstated

Imagine Amazon taking umbrage at a tax hike and withdrawing their services from uk. Amazon could handle it, not sure uk could in the short term as it’s become so dependant on it. Maybe one of the Chinese equivalents would step in…

It is not my clarion call though is it? You have just made that up to try and discredit me.

What I do have is the ability to recognise the truth in MA?s description of the faults that lie within the extremely unequal distribution of wealth throughout both this country and the world and what I also have is the ability to recognise the wisdom of Swale describing the correlation between the demand for the quality of services we all desire and the need for higher taxes.

In addition I believe that the biggest tax burden should fall on those who can most easily afford it which is, after all, the basis of most income tax systems.

What is interesting is that the former bean counters on here and those whose living may have included what was previously described (not by me) as specialising in tax avoidance, tax evasion, tax havens etc. appear now to have nothing constructive to say regarding how we rectify an ever growing problem. Think this is the third time I have asked AF. What would you do?
