Brilliant ! lol 

Ok, so, taxes have no use whatsoever, they don't help keep the country running? I think that bog air has completely messed with your mind mate, you're not living in reality.

Exactly like that, but their struggles were still very real and what you're failing to understand, it was the ruin of our industries that caused these places to slowly deteriorate, we were just going through the start.

I didn’t say that, you and Jukel said other people should be made poorer and I asked why and neither of you could explain.

If you don’t know, just say “I don’t know”

Yeah, knock on your neighbours door and ask if you can borrow their beef joint to make a bit of gravy.

Or ask if they could rub a bit of soap on your wet flannel.

Ahh the good old days, I remember them well, rickets, head lice, ringworm, outside toilets, , kids up chimneys, down mines, how I miss those days ! LOL !

Cheers.

No, I said the mega rich, corporations should take more of the brunt, and seeing as though it's the bottom feeders that need it most, I find it confusing that you and Charts don't agree with it.

Living standards are at their worst, it's understandable. We have an ever ageing population and the percentage of the population that is earning is shrinking. I've brought up mandatory euthanasia before, perhaps it's time to discuss this? Lol

I imagine there's plenty of rail jobs over there, but bet it's a case of who you know.

Pest control of invasive species is a good earner in nz as they are desperate to stop the same thing that has happened in oz edited to say you may have to ditch the lawn shitter and get some real dogs though

Hypothetical here, are you happy to see the retirement age keep rising, that much so you work until you drop or would you accept working until 40-50 in exchange for 20-30 years of happy retirement before being put down at 70? Lol

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?

I didn’t say the mega rich shouldn’t bear more of the brunt.

I say if you reach a point when they feel they are paying to much, they up sticks and leave and we get less tax revenue, more unemployment. 
Labour are not business friendly, they will push to far, just like raising the windfall tax on North Sea oil profits is driving investors away. 
Getting the tax loopholes closed would bring in more revenue than raising tax rates to an unsustainable level.

Cheers.

“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

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.

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.
