If I tax 33 million people £1.00 extra then I make £33 million, If I tax 1 person an extra £1 million I make 1 extra Million, If as a country we Tax large corporations like say google and force them to pay X pound's extra and they decide to move their UK operation to India for example we still get nothing but have put thousands of employees out of work which reduces income from the tax they pay on their wages.
Do I believe that these big companies should pay their fair share 'yes to a certain degree' do I believe they should be given tax breaks to offer employment in this country most definitely yes! It is a subject a bit more complicated than the media would have us believe but then again it would not sell papers or skew the public opinion depending on the narrative
- Tories would say we have brought (place fake big company here (Nossan) to the North East and have given them some tax breaks and exemptions created 20000 jobs with the manufacturing of vehicles and the overall supply chain.
- Labour would say ' Nossan makes 20 billion a year and only pays tax on 2 % of earning if you vote us into power we will make them pay what they owe'
- Nossan piss off back to China we lose 20000 tax paying jobs and production from the North East and are worse off than when we started
like I said a bit more complicated than tax the rich, in fact I would say that governments would love the fact we bicker about taxation of the rich when the real crime is the amount of taxation that the poor have to pay on everyday essentials. They have us convinced that we have to pay and that it is the big corporations at fault and not the foolhardy and wasteful attitude of governments who consistently spunk money away and then ask us to foot the bill that is the real issue but we are not really talking about it because they want us to concentrate on another agenda.
another daily Rant lol
