putting the tax up would make it even more expensive
they cut 25 cents a litre off the petrol tax here for the next 3 months
Seemed relevant to me. Anyway, forget it, I can't be arsed to argue. I was agreeing with you.
That’s a no then.
Who’s seen the corpse of the woman daubed with a Swastika who (it is alleged) was tortured by Asov Nazis, as reported by US Navy veteran Patrick Lancaster embedded with the Russian army. Again, no idea if it’s staged.
I know mate, and I respect you for it. I was just pointing out why a socialist future, with a state controlling and profiting from the Utilities, as I firmly believe should be the case, wouldn’t be possible under EU rules.
It’s one on the many reasons I am and was a firm leaver.
what would happen if you raised vat but brought income taxes down by the same level
the rich can have as many tax avoidance schemes as they like but they still buy things
would the tax take go up

I did look up the video you mentioned Uber….****ing brutal.
Sad fact if war that atrocities will be carried out by ALL sides, and strengthens my point that there’d are no ‘good guys’
I was recently reading about the forced resettlement of Germans after WW2 and the atrocities perpetrated by Czechoslovak soldiers (who were our Allies). In war, everybody does something pretty appalling. Dresden, Hamburg anybody?
Adding to that the numbers of returning Jews killed in Eastern Europe during pogroms AFTER WW2…it makes me despair of the human race as a whole
****ed if i know
turn lights off and get a company vehicle

Personally I think it would make them cheaper, purely down to the fact that profits made wouldn’t have to be paid out in disidentes to share holders or exorbitant bonuses to managers. This could then be used to make things cheaper, while investing in new technology.
Of course I’m no economist and it’s a very simplistic view that could have a downfall somewhere.
labour govt renationalized the rail here
no better service and on the rare occasion i use it or any public transport not cheap either
the govt pretty much own air new zealand after it almost went bust and they have cut domestic services unless there is competition where they then cut prices to drive out the competition and once thats been done they pull out themselves
I think tax avoidance is something they really need to crack down on, and many “loop holes” need to be closed.
I’m not saying that there isn’t a place for some kind of “tax free” saving schemes, like ISAs etc….but it doesn’t seem right that those with billions, both companies and individuals, seem ok with avoiding paying the tax that people like us have to pay.
We as a culture need to look at tax paying as an honour, and be proud to pay something that benefits the whole community……a bit like the Muslim “Zakat”
