I think the issue is that there’s a culture of ‘we’re untouchable’ in the very wealthy circles. We don’t have to pay our fair share because 1. We’ll threaten to take our business elsewhere 2: we’ve made it our mission to embed ourselves in the political system to ensure that conditions are favourable for us.
There’s absolutely no evidence that these people would up sticks and leave if they were made to pay their fair share. And to the Tories credit, they called HSBC’s bluff on it when they threatened to pull out when a banking windfall was levied. HSBC stfu because they knew there was too much money to be lost in the UK if they left. The same principle would apply to any industry CEO who’s threatening to walk away from a lucrative British market.
Even having said that, even if they left, somebody would quickly fill their place in the market, so why not just make it the underlying principle that taxation is fair across the board, and that’s a condition of being licenced to trade in the UK. That hasn’t happened so far because the system has been rigged to be preferable to the wealthy.
The only notable businessmen who up sticks and left were people like James Dyson who campaigned for Brexit which then made it more expensive for his business to deal with Europe, the ****ing nobber
I'm going to be completely honest with you, you come across as envious to me.
You always complain about anyone that has got more than you. Yet it's all abit rich excusing the pun, you live in a nice place in the UK, probably live a life considerly better than most - have no qualms about spending stupid money on something you want.
There's a lot of bitterness in you, so it clearly has brought you no happiness, because you are forever moaning about it.
You even hate on the elderly so it's not like you care about the poor, and don't dare be some kid who can't afford your ice creams!
You just seem to hate so many people in life. You'll say it's because they are crooks, they are all crooks. The only difference is some do cheating at a far lower level, whether it's dodging their tax due, dodging their tv licence, taking something they've not paid for, a cash hand job, using dodgy sports sticks, everyone is at it, even those at the bottom, but because they do it better than you, or were born into wealth you cry about it.
Just worry about yourself in life, and not what others have got. Generally the people you hate in life have different views to you, yet those you like you'll make excuses for, hypocrisy at its best, some do it for bantz, you don't, deep down there's a nasty person inside your soul, bitter and twisted.
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.
