Off Topic General Election

[Cityzen]

If rich people want to leave the country if they are made to pay a fair amount of tax, good riddance - let’s put our collective size 11s up their rectums, to Rwanda! Even if it took money out the economy now, it would create wealth in the long run as it would normalise rich people paying their fair share for generations to come. Most European countries manage to tax the rich more equitably without a mass exodus.
I’m shocked that so many people are brainwashed into this “don’t tax the rich” rubbish. Turkeys voting for Christmas.

You wouldn’t last long in a far left or Muslim one. Do you mean the President who launched less raids than Saint Obama and only deported a quarter of the number each month of his presidency Obama did?

Oh that's odd, he claims to have "solved immigration" by pissing billions up the wall (pun intended). As for claims of "world peace under Trump" he keeps repeating, that's also completely untrue.

No, I probably wouldn't last long in a Muslim governing country, you're right. Every religion says I should be killed, it isn't exclusive to the Muslim ruled nations. There are parts of the USA where I'd be disappeared very quickly. Which is exactly why I don't want an even more Conservative government than the one we just had getting anywhere close to power, ever.

That’s why a Land Value Tax is great because 60% of the UK’s wealth is in land, 70% of the land is owned by just 1% and if they throw a huff and leave to avoid paying it, they can’t take their land with them and the government just make it public land.

That would tax people who went without to buy a house whilst people living in social housing, like that late union chief of over £100,000:a year and some Labour MPs on £90,000 a year would pay nothing,

 

[Steven Toast]

You have nothing to fear, there is no chance of persecution. It's a misconception that the far right is anti-gay, there have always been people of this pursuation in their ranks, Martin Webster, Harvey Proctor, Douglas Murray etc.

With all due respect, that's been going on for quite some time already.

Just putting it out there, but removing tax exempt status from all religions would raise about £2bn a year. Just saying. Maybe that's why they want us dead .

It wouldn’t necessarily. Land Value Tax only taxes unimproved land, not any buildings or improvements on it.

 

[Carmine Galante.]

It’s been quoted that people died so we had the right vote.

My take on that is people died so we could live in a free society and therefore had the right not to vote if we so wished.

I’m not voting.

I didn’t say world peace under Trump, I said he caused less destruction than Obama. And I didn’t mention immigration. I said Obama deported far more yet he is perceived as a more caring person.

I don’t think the C of E says you should be killed. Or the Anglicans. Catholics are against homosexuality but don’t advocate killing homosexuals. Only one religion advocates it yet people in this country pander to them. If they ever get the upper hand here then there would be problems.

A property tax would soon follow.

Then what happens to it?

I assume your tax is exempt for agriculture?

 

[Kalman]

I don’t follow what you mean, Castro. I’m advocating a hypothetical situation where LVT replaces income tax, Stamp Duty, council tax etc. rather than on top of it.

The Bible, which all Abrahamic religions base their teachings on, explicitly states that homosexuality is forbidden as dictated by God on several occasions. And while the local vicar isn't going to have me crucified, he isn't very likely to step in and speak up against those that would and that's just as bad.

As for the Trump bit, I know you didn't, it was Trump that claimed that in his infinite wisdom/bullshit.

 

[Kalman]

Same as what happens with the Crown Estate now except 100% of the net income goes to the Treasury instead of just 75%.

 

[What? A full dog?]

There’s normally someone famous who says they will leave the country if labour get in, but I’ve not seen that this time. It’s usually followed by a national fundraiser to pay their air fair. I think it was phil Collins and paul Daniel’s. Have I missed one this time?

Think it’s Castro off here this time

So no inheritance tax on land, no stamp duty for buying land, no tax on selling land or income gained from the land.

Just simply a LVT annually on the land you own?

Yep.

 

[Top_Tiger]

Yep.

Is there anywhere where this is a thing?

And how many of those famous people who said that they would leave the country if we voted Brexit did so? Or those who said they would leave the USA if Trump won?Can you think of any?

 

[Idi Amin]

Yep.
