Can see where this is going - low tax, low wage economy.
It may be that Brexit is good for the rich who voted against it and bad for the poor who voted for.
What an excellent cosmic joke.

Put politely, you're like a bee to honey with these Brexit threads.

Cutting corporation tax will make Theresa May's Brexit talks 'more difficult', European leaders warn

Theresa May's Brexit negotiations with the European Union will be "more difficult" if she cuts corporation tax, European leaders have warned.

Stefan Loefven, the Swedish Prime Minister, said that any "aggressive" tax cuts by Britain will damage relations with the European Union.

It comes as Philip Hammond, the Chancellor, prepares to "reset" Britain's fiscal policy in his Autumn Statement by cutting taxes and borrowing to invest in infrastructure.

Mr Loefven said that Brexit "shouldn’t take longer than necessary" but also suggested that Mrs May is entitled to wait until beginning the formal process of exiting the European Union.

I don't think we should go for aggressive cuts. Let's just equalise our rate with that of our nearest neighbour (Ireland). 12.5% will work nicely. And that's not even the lowest in the EU.

alternatively we could just charge whatever tax we think will provide the right balance between economic stimulation and equality. Or do we all believe that tax should be a punishment?
