A corbyn government would impose a limit to what you can earn

[Eric Cartman]

Strange I do this "in every thread", as I am simply responding to a question you asked. What do I do anyway?.

And I haven't linked you to anything at all have I? You assumed I am totally against taxing the rich, as you brought up the 1%, CEO's etc. Then I explained my position, that is all.

You are paranoid, the bit on bold doesn't imply you are in favour or against it at all. It wasn't directed at you, more a general question.

Unlike...

I am defending small/medium size businesses and other people who are deemed "rich", when really they are not.

How can you comment when you have 0 idea how much these people pay in tax?.

On small/medium businesses owners? I never did comment on them.

You assumed TOBW was a rich hater simply because he said the rich don't pay the tax they are supposed to. My immediate guess is that he is referring to people whose money does more air miles than Justin Bieber and suspiciously ends up somewhere sunny with a 1% tax rate (sometimes in someone else's name).

The taxation system is all one big pantomime and your little dance just adds to it. No one here mentioned anyone who earns 50k, except for you. No one here mentioned small/medium business owners, except for you. If you hear someone criticising people for living a nice life, take it up with them. I am talking about the FACT that people on PAYE are forced to pay the rate of tax that they are 'supposed to' while the very wealthiest can dodge and swerve (and still complain about the top rate being too high when they aren't even paying it).

Read the thread back and see where I said that people generalise about the rich, when they have no idea whatsoever what each individual pays.

You have't a clue, so don't generalise.

The tories have done more than labour ever did to cut down on tax avoidance.

You hate the 1% so much that you discredit the entire system. When most well off people pay far more than you ever will.

Pass it off as you simply disliking the 1%, I think you dislike more judging by your comments on the entire system.

Read momentums latest release and they say employers are basically scumbags. That is the sort of crass comment from people that will never experience running a business.

The rich get criticised for passing judgement on the poor. I guess the working classes can judge anyone without restraint.

At no point in this thread have I been aggressive, so save your OTT language

Cap is probably an impractical idea, but all elements of Gov't should be looking to implement a reliable system of obtaining transparency regards earnings (I don't necessarily mean full public knowledge) so that those above a certain threshold are made to pay every penny of tax that they owe to the state - like the majority of us 'ordinary' people do.
Those who already earn a very comfortable amount, but are found to be attempting to defraud the country of more on the sly should be marched off to jail like the crooks that they are.

Utopia I know.

The gov are going through old accounts off shore, demanding people give explanations as to why money has passed through or been stored there. It could've been twenty years ago, they don't care.

I don't really understand how it all works.

I am unsure if they are targeting the big boys who avoid paying millions upon millions but small fry people are getting taken to the cleaners.

Society has always, and still does operate that way - there always a perceived 'underdog' who can openly criticise a perceived 'overmaster', but unacceptable the other way round.
In return they get / get to feel downtrodden.

Does not solely relate to wealth / status.

There have a been a few on here over the years who have been openly contemptuous of the 'great unwashwed' as I recall.
