:loll:I wouldn't worry till he starts extolling the virtues of women's "hygiene" products. :biggrin:
£100 million is the point beyond which I believe wealth is excessive, but I am not suggesting any sort of wealth tax. I would severely limit its...
I don't want to drag everyone down. I have no problem with reasonable wealth (say up to about £100 million). It is the way things are structured...
Sadly, I agree. A constant throughout much of history has been rule by the wealthy for the wealthy. They have an iron-fisted grip on things.
Lots of good ideas there, @Fat Controller. 20k would be a reasonable starting point, though I think 50% on anything above is steep. I like 25%...
I've thought of that! I will declare advising anyone on how to avoid paying their 25% a criminal offence with a mandatory 5 yr jail term.;)
Hope you enjoy Borrowed Time, @Ergates. :blue thumb:
Gift Aid. :)
You could add in minimum thresholds. My point is not to penalise anyone anywhere on the wealth spectrum, but to have a system that is consistent,...
Inheritance tax already does that though ... and at 40%, not my more generous 25%.Yes, I would get rid of VAT, etc. Possibly even Corporation...

@NigelJ, largely my system would not tax twice. Returning money from offshore would only be taxed if it was already there when the rules changed....
*idly wonders if Labour might invite @Fat Controller to write their next Party Political Broadcast*:loll:
I take your points, @KT53, but I do think the solution is simplicity. Simple systems remove wiggle room.@Obelix-Vendée, I don't want to see...
"Claimed" is the important word there, @KT53.Narrowing the wealth gap is actually fairly easy to do. You need an utterly transparent tax...
Just finished a good book - The Final Act of Juliette Willoughby by Ellery Lloyd. Enjoyed it, even though fairly early on, I could see a couple...
Politics is all smoke-and-mirrors with all the parties there to ensure the wealthy have things organised in their favour. There are no parties...
Splendid! :blue thumb: It might be on offer as his next book, This Is The Day They Dream Of, is out at the beginning of June and revolves around...
I think you showed admirable restraint by not challenging the jobsworth on her tone and attitude frankly, @hailbopp, though possibly in these...
He wasn't! :)
