Politics Election 2019

How much do British people pay in tax?

So we're relatively low taxation on a standard (and limited) model.

It's not really a very helpful article as it doesn't talk about the grossly democracy-distorting (grossly so) levels of inherited (i.e. not worked for) wealth or the increasing speed by which that is happening - thus necessitating a correcting mechanism in addition to "normal" taxation.

But then what do we expect - the proles do rather pathetically think of the world in terms of 'earnings'...

Getting exercised about inherited wealth is understandable but is essentially a giant game of whack-a-mole that tax authorities around the world are losing. And here's the thing; if you had millions (or billions), sticking it where the taxman can't get it and your kids can is a very rational choice. Selfish? Absolutely. But completely understandable.

Read that the other day. Scary stuff. The world is squeezing tax-havens but US states have a loop-hole and it's all migrating there.

Don't disagree with this at all.

If 95% of the world's authorities cooperated and sowed up wealth as an issue then the super rich would all rock up in Ghana (or wherever) and make that a very wealthy country indeed (by some measures - they'd leave all the poor black people in the shit, because that's the nature of humans).

But at least it would give us somewhere to bomb



Edit: Anyway - the above is no excuse not to try. Part-solutions have the potential to make improvements, even if you can't fix it outright.

Problem is the tax avoidance merry go round has stopped in South Dakota; no-one is going to be applying sanctions to Mount Rushmore anytime soon, and even if the Democrats kick out the orange chimp they're not going to interfere with state taxes; it's one of those bits of constitutional fuckuperry that's too hard to fix in the US. I never realised this whole perpetual trust model was even a thing until I read that article; its properly bad news.

I didn't think the Conservatives could go any lower.
Seems I was very wrong

So Corbyns in trouble again for saying epstine instead of epsteen.


I would say it is epstine..he obviously jewish and what the fuck would it matter, or is guilt by association just the norm now.

 

[Embattle]

I really don't think he is, in fact out of every thing I suspect it doesn't matter.

Definitely Jewish, don't see what the issue is about pronunciation; our most famous Epstein was Brian and it was "styne" not "steen", so it's a pretty normal way to say it. Of course its Corbyn so this is some press-manufactured micro-aggresion towards Jews, because the world is fucking stupid.

 

[Job]

It was so fucking boring..there is nothing to say, it was Jeremy Kyle level of goading bullshit with the interviewer asking questions to get applause from obvious answers
A fucking joke seeing how important this election is to the future of Britain

Or there's a bullshit antisemitic corbyn-bash, no?

Maybe you could go work for the EHRC and let them know, might save them the trouble of investigating?

You're so bleeding months ago. Labour referred themselves btw.

Anyway - you jumped for joy at the news that the US has said Israel's occupation ian't illegal, right?

My new favourite website

The lies, falsehoods and misrepresentations of Boris Johnson and his government. (You can click on the lies for fact checks)

 

[Job]

Hmm..factcheckopinions you mean.

Strange that no one is shouting Trump, declaring them legal is a monumental turning point in the world order....liberalism is on the decline.

Enquiry started months ago, yet is still ongoing. Nice update from one of the Labour councilors involved below:

Far more importantly..he wears those wonky glasses to sort of hide his drooped right eye, which hes being treated for.
I guess its better to look all quirky than impaired.

Which is what I said?

Anyway, yadda yadda yadda, zionist asshats subverting our democracy by keeping a "racist" theme running through our media about a clear lifetime anti-racist, pro-palestinian state campaigner.

Who cares about a physical disability or whatever? I mean gordon brown was dodgey in one eye as well. Why should a person be free from physical defects to be prime minister?

 

[BloodOmen]

Changing my vote - I was going to vote Green but seeing the utter bollocks Boris has been spitting out over the last few days has changed my mind. Labour can't beat Conservatives in an election, that's pretty much fact, they can stop them holding an outright majority though.

Theres a Maill article by some random journalist with an Epstein surname.
She says she curled up in a ball when Corbyn mispronounced her name.

Wtf!..what are they even trying to say here?
Shes coming across anti jew herself.

As it stands it still looks like they are on target to get a majority, although if they carry on with the dipshit tactics they might well lose Conservative votes.

People pronounce my name in many different ways. I am not precious about it. I have the way my family pronounces it. I dont see that saying something a different way to others is evil or bad. They just making a mountain out of a mole hill

No. They're systematically trying to destroy JC because he'll implement sanctions against Israel.

They've had pops at Bernie Sanders too despite the fact that he's a Jew...

 

[BloodOmen]

The Conservatives may as well just rename themselves to The Dystopian Party at this point, christ, first pretending to be an independent fact-checker and now this?

Tories set up fake Labour manifesto website as party's disinformation spree continues

What astounds me, even more, is that they can legally do it.
