And the worst thing about it is that you can't even say that or else "well there needs to be loopholes for those who can afford it, because they're the ones who employ people" They'd still have to bloody employ those people if they paid their taxes without massive breaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s now revealed Sajid Javid was a tax dodger when he was earning millions as a banker. If you can still vote tory, seek medical help. Just wait until you get to 65 and we all vote Tory.

I’m sure many people who are on the fiddle with their taxes will sleep easier knowing that those in charge try their luck so it’s all part of the game. The crazy thing is, the people at the top doing complicated tax avoidance/reduction schemes are doing it legally in most cases, and the regular people not declaring cash in hand jobs are doing it illegally! Shit system that needs an overhaul. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it will last more than the next headline. People struggling to heat their homes and put food on the table while their disposable income shrinks, won’t be swayed by the fat bastard flying to Ukraine for a photo opportunity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted April 11, 2022 Moderator Share Posted April 11, 2022 I think the real point is that it’s already chip paper The story has come and gone. The household bills are still there today, tomorrow and for a good time into the future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit system that needs an overhaul. I think the bigger issue is actually the societal view. For example, people on benefits are "lazy scroungers" and should "get a job like the rest of us". Whereas those in incredibly fortunate positions who are actively avoiding paying their way have "earnt it" and "aren't doing anything illegal". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
