You do, but the problem is those that on the left want others, not themselves of course to pay more for public services. The problem is if you tax the rich until the pips squeak it leaves the age old problem I am not paying over more them I keep.
In the good old days of the 1970’s under a Labour Government the highest rate was 98% and we were well and truly in the shit at the time.

Not income tax.

Fucking hell, it's a joke every Chancellor leaves when they leave office, to use that as a stick to beat anyone with is stupid.

He is an utter prick isn’t he?

Ah right, silly me for missing it in every other instance. Can you just help me out by naming any other Chancellor in history who left a similar note. Just one will do.

Correct, it was 83% plus, for those nasty capitalist who happened ho have some unearned income got off the back of the working classes an extra 15% investment income surcharge = 98%

When ever you make a point it’s always good to bring the nurses in to it even if you only know one twice removed.
I don’t think you’re quite aware of how it works with footballers The footballers get a wage and then form a limited company for their “image rights“ and take most of their income through that which is taxed at a far lower rate.
If we are pulling at the heart strings let’s look the great and the good just search how many companies our great ex leader Vincent Kompany is involved with and you will begin to see the point I am making.

Says the guy who brought Haaland into it!

If he had your attitude and seeing he is more likely to vote Tory, he would be better just saying fuck it, sack them all and just look after number 1. Then the Country would be in the shit with no wealth creators to pay for your wish list and huge unemployment.

Are not his employees wealth creators? Creating it for him...

 

[Vic]

Yep, the comment on the note to the Treasury left by Labour that there is no money left seems to produce selective memory recall

And there's even less money left now than when there was no money left.

Correct which makes it even harder for any party to promise major changes
