Richest 3000 people in the UK pay 1/3 of the country's tax!?
The problem is not that the rich are taxed too little, they are being taxed quite highly paying for a large sum of all of our services…the problem is how did we get in such a situation that allowed 3000 people to become so rich and basically owning a massive stake in our country, hence the tories pander to them as THEY ARE THEM...simple. (23 of the 29 member of the new cabinet are worth more than £1m)
If you are one of these lucky 3000 people then good for you, well done...if not then you can read on.
So solutions would be to make the poorer people richer and the richer people poorer, but not only through taxes as this already seems to have not really worked. so lets focus on making the poorer people richer first.
HOW? make things CHEAPER...housing is ridiculously high, we need more affordable housing and we need the government to build homes and not let rich Asian and Russian investors just come in and buy up all the houses AND leave them empty…you cant just rock up to Thailand and buy a house, you have to be Thai. protect your own people and your own economy...its like the premier league...english players don't stand a chance anymore, imagine 50 Leo Messi's coming into the housing market...and your Robbie Savage!?? you just got nutmegged for a 3 storie semi-detached!
Transport, make it cheaper, way cheaper…in Taiwan a tube ticket anywhere is basically 50p and the train is new and clean and always on time. no more annual rises, its like a tradition in the UK everything goes up by 4-10% each year….why??? it doesn’t happen in other countries. just keep it the same, the train didn’t get better, infact the service has got worse over the years.
Energy, the monopoly has to stop, they are a Cartel and it should be illegal…no more price increases, infact there should be caps on things like this, id go as far to say that transport and energy should be renationalised…they are human needs not products to be profited from. Shell made profits of 3 billion plus last year...from a human need, its not a want…we cant choose to have energy or not, its not like a pair of nikeys or a handbag.
these are ways to save people money and make poorer people richer, by cutting some costs.
next is a payrise, we need to give people a bloody pay rise, 10 pounds minimum pay, anything less is a joke in the UK.
Now, on to the rich…i think they should be taxed a bit more, and the tax should be focused on getting poorer people richer, better schools and education for everyone.
And don’t say who’s gonna pay for it…the Fuckin banks and oil companies can pay for it….barclays made 11 billion in profit in 2009 and paid just 110 million in tax….thats 1%…1% tax for barclays bank?? but its 24% tax for me and you….go figure? theres the money, we are a rich country. it can be worked out.
ohhh...forgot to mention healthcare…i think people should pay a minimum, nothing should be totally free…5 pounds to see a doctor is fair enough. but thats it…no increasing, keep it at that…90-95% of all healthcare cost should be covered by the state…but as with anything free some people do take the piss so put a minimal fee on it.
