[vetran]

You are beginning to sound like me

Indeed I'm starting to agree with more of SAS's posts, do you think the drugs have started working on him?

[vetran]

is there no place that lying cheating scumbag's name isn't attached to :

But Labour has said Mr Cameron needed to publish his full tax returns dating back to before he became prime minister in 2010, when he sold off shares in Blairmore for a £19,000 profit

You're confused.
You think uneducated and unskilled people should be paid 35K a year because it's "fair".
Which is equivalent to saying you believe money should grow on trees.

Your powers of analysis are poor and you're muddled.

Here are some facts:

1. Hodge is Labour, not part of the govt.
2. This Tory government has taxed the 1% much more than ever Labour did.
See post with graph at start of thread.
3. The country is deeply in debt and spending needs to be curtailed to avoid problems in the future. Not everything that people want funded can be funded. Money does not grow on trees. It comes from people creating wealth by starting or growing businesses.
4. Finally, everywhere socialism has been tried it has resulted in the masses suffering shortages of housing, basic goods and opportunities. Apart from the 1%.

1. I am well aware of that - she's still a politician.
2. Agree in terms of tax yield.
3. Read John Maynard Keynes. Treating an economy like a household budget is a mistake; as the average person suffers economically in a downturn, they are usually subjugated excessively driving growth downwards and the 1% benefit disproportionately.
4. Following Keynesian economics is not socialist as such, but the current UK situation is that there are a large minority living off food banks with no permanent place to live and limited opportunities (I don't count Amazon's zero hours contracts as opportunities).

There's got to be another way.

No I think people should be able to achieve a reasonable standard of living by working hard. Reasonable being a roof over their head, decent food to eat and the knowledge they don't need to go to the foodbank etc anymore.
I believe the gap between the rich & poor is now too wide and our government has a moral obligation to fix that.

If you don't, then sorry you aren't much of a person.

Cameron didn't take a salary not tax it and put it in a fund in Panama, he paid full tax on his salary, then put some of the remains of his after tax income in a fund in Panama and then every year paid full tax on the dividend and then declared the Capital Gains in the UK.

He avoided no tax at all. He paid exactly the same amount of tax as anyone investing in a UK fund, because he declared it and it was taxed.

You don't know that - he did not pay CGT because amount of gains after sale was small... but was the sale price MARKET PRICE or did he shift asset to relative at low price to avoid paying CGT???

We can only know that if we know amount of dividends he was normally receiving on those shares, conviniently he is not publishing that info! He lied about publishing tax returns too - he only published SUMMARY OF TAXABLE income and amount of tax, we don't know amount of dividends from offshore that he got on those shares, which IS the critical info require to understand if he screwed over the taxpayer.

Here's Corbyn's return :

https://www.scribd.com/doc/307917248...Return-2014-15

Pretty pitiful for a man of 67. No savings or investments.

Just what I'd expect from someone who expects the state to fund him for his entire life.

What did you expect to see in Labour Leaders tax return, millions of pounds???

According to Camoron's tax return he is much poorer than me, when in reality it certainly isn't the case (yet).
