But the tenth man almost certainly still pays more tax in to the system than any of the other nine men!

And probably uses fewer of the resulting services than the other nine men too!

Or probably pays more tax into the system than the other nine put together.

And for some that's still not enough.

Hopefully with the aid of nice simple explanations, (it will be all their little heads can get around), they might get to realising that constantly asking for more inevitably ends up with less.

Ken Livingston is a much misunderstood man.

They should pay their fair share though and not avoid it.

You missed the bit about the barman being on the take. He actually only gives $60 to his boss and splits the remaining $40 with the first four men as an incentive for them to keep bringing the others back to the bar. They then go next door to the wine bar to meet their other six mates where they start all over again...

And the bit about the other guys that turn up wanting free beer, cos they're entitled ;0)

Even when it's made transparently clear some people STILL don't even understand the question - let alone the answer.
