Yep...just as I said in my original post. over £600bn in debt to pay off and in the time it will take to do that, only around £7bn will be made by hiking up the tax to 50% for those earning more than £150k. Litlle point really given that the mojority of those in that earning braket are the ones that are keeping the economy fluid!

Declare independence you mean?
I reckon with a few like minded folks we could overthrow the IOW local authority the residents are all doley buggers or a billion years old anyway so as long as we supply poor houses and propaganda daytime TV we'll have control of the people ![]()

This country has been brought to its knees by greedy people milking vast sums of money from the wider economy.The sooner we "brain drain" these wasters to other parts of the world the sooner we can start to rebuild our devastated land.
As for the specifics of revenue raising I accept that we are now in exceptional times and the economic waters are uncharted,but recent history (last few decades)says governments of either persuasion have had to raise broadly similar amounts of money by taxation.Now if those with lots of money dont want to pay lots of tax(and who can blame them?)it just leaves those with a lot less money to pick up the tab.So if you dont tax the rich,you will just have to tax the poor a lot more.

not really, in terms of wealth there's a lot more with less and less with more, so you only need to tax the more with less a little more to make the same as taxing the little with lots a lot...

It's all piffle.
A few rules of life. 1. Debt is exponential 2. Net movement of money is to the rich 3. Basic maths is beyond most people 4. Politicians don't know their **** from their elbow. If I ran the country - £10k tax free, then 10% on everything after that. Think of it as a tip if the government do well ![]() |
