Because international corporate tax law is so full of loop holes as to be non existent. Without a worldwide agreement then no single government can actually address the problem.How else do large organizations get away with it then ?
Good post although I respectfully disagree with the last sentence.On these threads I don't often agree with you but you're right he's got this slighty wrong.
capitalism is an economic system that can influence an ideology but not specifically part of it, some facist states throughout industry have allowed capitalism and private ownership of business to be used , as long as it is for the betterment of the state.
But facism is an ideology of how a nation should be, not an economic system.
Umfortunately in the last 30 years both facist and marxist/trotskyite have become the common way to wrongly slag off the left or the right wing respectively, while not recognocnisobg the difference between conservatism, socialism, libralism, marxism, facism, etc all different ideologies.
where as you then have different economic systems, capitalism, mercantism(thunk spelt right, sydicalism, socialist economic system, communism (an ideology linked directly to ecomonic systems), facist socialisation, never mind all the modern offshoots to boot.
A capitalist can be a facist but they are not intertwined that all capitalist are, ideologically some tories lean to a far right mindset as some labour lean to a far left.
Tories are still bad for the nation and it's people though
The 26% rate suggested would still be the lowest in the G7.
But pray tell where you suggest the money should come from to fund our failing public services?
....
Before Labour made the decision, Bank Holidays were optional to work (with double pay), Labour made it legal so that we have to work them and double pay or time and a half was now only optional by the employer, not mandatory.
Before Labour introduced the Minimum Wage, my wage was higher. After it virtually every company reduced the hourly rate.....
Not true of course but thanks for trying, you sound like the sort who thinks someone who nicks a bottle of wine from Tesco should be locked yet you are happy to shrug your shoulders when corporations and individuals dodge billions in tax ? Strange days indeedBecause international corporate tax law is so full of loop holes as to be non existent. Without a worldwide agreement then no single government can actually address the problem.
Exactly my point earlier - communists can claim to be socialists yet not all socialists are communists , by the same token you can link fascism with capitalism - hitler for instance threw the banks out of Germany and set up his own capitalist structure - true or false ?On these threads I don't often agree with you but you're right he's got this slighty wrong.

We also have an estimated 120,000 homeless kids on our streets.
We also have a 3rd of children now believed to be going to school on an empty stomach, without breakfast.
You see MB what you talk about is absolute poverty which is the likes of no shelter, dirty drinking water, etc.
What we talk of in the UK is poverty and that is poverty created by the right wing governments from the past. Including "New Labour"
