And what did she actually do? Propose to remove the triple

Or even less good for those OAPs.

Keep your lies to yourself please. There may be children
present. There
was no suggestion of removing the WFP, just means-testing it.
Making it
taxable would be one way.

Yes. Tax the WFA to allow for even more tax cuts to the most
well off. You
just know it makes sense.

But, of course you snipped the bit where she promised to help the
disadvantaged. Those are presumably CEOs and above to the likes
of you?


Giving tax cuts to the rich generates spending power to employ
the poor.

so the trickle down theory says

There are many who say that it doesn't work.

Taxing the rich simply drives them away.

at a certain level

there is little to no evidence that at the rates the Tories
inherited were too high

And yet plenty like Branson choose to pretend
that their income shows up in foreign countrys
so they dont have to pay british tax on it.

but people as rich as Branson would do that if the tax were 10%

I doubt it, because it costs more than 10% to do that.

Nonsense
You ever done it?

That's the fallacy of lower taxes on the rich - the idea that if you
lower their taxes the very very rich will take fewer steps to avoid
it is bull****.

No its not if the tax they would pay is less than the cost
of farting around pretending its coming from elsewhere
with the risk that some arsehole in the Bahamas etc will
just **** off with your money you have stashed there.

I imagine that Branson has his money somewhere safer than a dodgy
Bahamian Bank (if indeed, there is such a thing as a dodgy Bahamian
Bank)
