Taxing the super rich

[KS55]

Denise Coates of Bet 365 was paid £ 265M last year. Do you think there are levels at which these people should suffer massive taxation and how much?

Unless you make a global system in which there's nowhere to run it's impossible.

Well under the current system, she'd pay £120m in tax per year.

Are you SERIOUSLY suggesting that is not enough?

40% is fair but she probably pays nowhere near that.

Probably isn't tbf. Not when the infrastructure of the country she lives in is drastically underfunded.

This is where we differ.

It's all one little rock in space mate, she made her money from that infrastructure she can pay back into it.

They've earned their money, and probably worked really fucking hard for it, so why should they pay any more than they currently are? Simple jealousy.

I am prepared to put good money down to say that she will be only paying a very small percentage of that. Good accountants are worth their weight in gold. That’s why these barstewards will pay so little. Only us ‘plebs’ pay their full wack.

Well, we paid the midwife that delivered her, the teachers that taught her, we paid for the roads she was driven on...
