Pure speculation though.If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.Comment

It is long understood that lowering tax rates actually increases revenue because it stimulates economic activity. This is a fact of economics and would be an excellent way to help the economy recover IMO.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

I'm going to guess that the Conservatives are going to tax enterprises via other means, such as higher NI and / or Income Tax or even introduce Business Rates for those who currently don't pay it.
Pure speculation though.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Also, 20% is hardly going to make a big difference to now. You're not going to be taking more holidays or buying a new car on that aloneOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Where it went horribly wrong was that they assumed the money coming in would be there every year, year on year - that it was a permanent feature of their economy that they had created. So promptly spent the money building up their house prices and public sector.
Of course the problem with bribing foreign companies to come in - is that they will have utterly no scrupples about being bribed to leave by another country. This left a gaping hole in their budget because they treated a temporary influx of investment as a permanent facet.Comment
