“Mega rich corporations” lol…..yeah, who exactly is that ?

What is the cut off point ?

You are probably mega rich compared to a single mum with 3 kids to bring up, maybe you should be paying a lot more….what do you think ?

Or is it only “other people” ……these so called “mega rich” ? 
 

What’s the number ?

100,000?

250,000?

120,000,000 ?

a billion ?

My mates firm turns 120 million a year, do you know what their margin is?……between 1 & 2 % ! 
My pal who is a director pays about £200,000 a year in personal tax ! 
He employs 700 people, they all pay tax ! 
What extra exactly do you want ? lol 

 

I'm not an economist, I don't know the figures, that would be their job to work out the cut off point. 

An interesting fact, when the state pension was introduced, there were ten people working for every person collecting it, now it's something like 2.5 and it's only going to get worse.

Where is evidence of that mate, isn't that just scaremongering? That link I shared stated that they need to crack down on loopholes and that limited company fraud is the biggest tax fraud in the country.

Exactly ! Crackdown on the fraud and loopholes; don’t raise taxes to an unacceptable limit  and deter investment and expansion.

As for the oil windfall tax of, I think it is 95%, but I could be wrong, a major oil company recently pulled out of the North Sea and invested in the Mexican gulf because it simply wasn’t profitable anymore. So, lost tax revenue, lost jobs .

Cheers.

We are feeding the troll a bit, the fact is he don’t actually have a f***ing clue what he is on about….he is just doing his thing.

At least Jukel is honest about his opinions. 

The irony, ok, so now you agree taxes are essential, but tax brings no benefits, make your mind up, or have you figured the cut off point where they become a burden, what figures are you talking?

Crack on, but you do realise that many of these people exploiting these loopholes are Bob the Builder on the end house, that will really win the working man over.

The lawn shitter has probably caught more than most people's lurchers on here that don't get walked lol. Big stab in the dark though mate, emigrating in the off chance that you'll find a pest control job? 

You work on a bounty system mate the more you catch the more you earn like the Fox’s and things over here in the 70/80 more body’s more dollar simples

Ok, so you agree that they are essential but in the next breath are demanding me to give the benefits of taxation? So, where is the cut-off, where do they go from being essential to being a burden of no benefit? Your whole arguement is confused.

No, just saying uncomfortable truths that you and others don't like to hear. 

Mate, you must be naive to deny that limited company working  is abused by the working class just as much as it is by the rich. You crack down on that, you hurt tens of thousands of working class households.

You're flummoxed, we both now agree that taxation is essential but then you claim taxing more doesn't bring any benefits, so, where is the cut-off point, where it turns from being a benefit in to a burden?

I was reading dogs for sale notices in a vets window one time in Tokaroa, NZ, and there was an ad for government pest controllers.

It was to cull possum, you were paid by tail count, but it was for setting 1080 poison bait stations in the forestry

A great book to read about deer, pig , goat cullers in NZ is “A Good Keen Man”, by Barry Crump. He was the real life inspiration for Crocodile Dundee.

Cheers.
