    That cow looks very exited and about to spaff all over Hamer's face.

    Not good. We like the nice flat surface to play on.

    Well, given the wealth gap is the widest it's been for ages and accelerating it's clearly doing nothing to hamper their own pockets is it.

    It is also true to say the lazy and indolent elite benefit from the hard-working.

    You keep telling yourself that. I'm sure the millions of people who work hard and are struggling to get by believe you too.

    But that is exactly the point. They've made it so those with less wealth get a tiny benefit so they can sell it as good for everyone but look at the massive difference for those with high wealth. That is not an unfortunate effect of the system, it is deliberately designed in to make it so those...

    I'm not. It just seems to me we'd have far less aggravation and problems as well as make far more advances if money was more evenly distributed instead of largely being in the hands of a tiny minority of people who then get to hand large swathes of it down to their kids free of charge while...

    Bit of an odd argument seeing as you're always going on about people being given free money for doing nothing. I'm not saying people shouldn't be 'rewarded' (not the word I'd have chosen) for doing nothing, just that anything they do gain should be treated as taxable. I don't think that's a...

    Of course it all goes on child killers and ayslum seekers... :rolleyes: Conveniently forget tax also pays kids in care, the elderly, the disabled, those with mental health needs, their carers, education, police, healthcare... But at least Tarquin can afford another 10k bottle of vintage...

    Throwing a hand grenade back into the building as she leaves to make sure in the future the BBC gets regulated so it has to tell stuff predominantly as a Tory mouthpiece. Or she's got a lucrative job lined up with someone and part of the deal is to bring down the PM to get themselves or someone...

    If all of your assets were placed in those trusts and attract income tax when the beneficiaries withdraw then that would be fine. If, however, you have other assets which are not in trust then they should be treated the same way. They will have transferred from you to another person and so...

    Legally it is different but in the logic should it be? Do work for money - get taxed. Do nothing for money - don't get taxed. Surely you can see how that doesn't make sense and is a situation that only exists because those with all the money shaped the laws that made it the case out of...

    It's my money, I've paid tax on it and if I chose to pay the workmen cash in hand so they don't pay tax who are the government to tell me I shouldn't? In fact, why don't I just gift him the money as a nice gesture and if he then chooses to do some work for me just as a friend what's the problem?

    Progressive inheritance tax would be a better means than the flat one, although the biggest problem is the ultra-rich just putting their money where it can't be got at. I'm thinking of the possibility of changing it from treating it as inheritance to income, so rather than it being a tax paid...

    But your son hasn't earned it has he? The business I work for has earned the money before they pay me, so why should I pay tax on it? When a workmen does a job for me why should he pay tax on the money seeing as I've already paid tax when I earned it? It seems that we're at a bonkers situation...

    You've fallen hook, line and sinker for the 'everyone benefits' line. It benefits those who have the most ability to pay the most. The people most likely to lose out will be those who have modest assets, the people most likely to gain are those with lots. It is more than an imperfect solution -...
