        Won’t somebody please think of the shareholders!? And spare a thought for those poor CEOs who might have to sell a Ferrari in order to eke out a meagre living if the taxes go up by 1%!

          That’s the rub, they wouldn’t have to sell anything. There would be absolutely zero change to their lifestyle. The only difference is that the impossibly high numbers on their profit statements would be a little lower. They’d only be able to hoard away enough money for 1000 lifetimes of unimaginable luxury instead of 1001 lifetimes. It’s so ridiculously preposterous that governments are catering to the biggest misers on the planet instead of helping people who are literally starving and homeless.

      I sure do want tax cuts, not a fan of subsidising Rishi’s chopper and other ventures. If I can’t get proper services from the NHS, then what’s the point of feeding our aristocracy? Fuck taxes!

          Yes. But while we have the current government I don’t want to pay taxes.

        Object to those things not paying for things. The tories cannot be trusted with anything economics related but letting them cut taxes is not going to help with them doing those things

          That will help me save my money and be able to afford services which the government is unable to provide for me.

        Yeah, I kind of get what you mean. It’s frustrating to see tax money wasted on pointless right-wing-wank-fantasies and bungs of money to their friends’ companies, but if they talk about cutting welfare to cut taxes, they’re not going to touch landlord benefit, offshore tax benefit, house of lords benefit, too-many-houses benefit etc.

        It is fun to pay so much tax and productivity into a country/society that gives you so many middle fingers in return.
