Why Labour's high tax plan is stupidity

[OwlHoot]

How is getting rid of a bunch of selfish overpaid w**kers who don't like paying their fair share of tax a bad thing?

I mean apart from there being less work for strippers?

That guy the other day was right - You are an infantile tosser.

I happen to think if you stop kowtowing to the people who preach the profit at all costs dogma the UK will be a better place. These people are in the main spoiled little rich folk who throw their toys out of the pram when asked to pay their fair share of the costs of running the place they have chosen to live. We should let them go, it may cause some short term pain but in the long run we will be better off.

I presume you're one of them.

They pay a lot more tax than you

And being an IT contractor you are up there with the best of them.
You also make the wrong assumption that tax is ever spent wisely.

Because the UK's status as the centre of the financial world depends on the w**kers.

Now let me think, is there anything the UK actually makes? Nope.

So get rid of the financial services sector and we are all f****d.

Oddly, although they should, quite a lot of them don't.

And how do you know that?

I know a few of them. By and large their tax burden is far lower than mine as a % of income.

There are also things that are on the public record re: various hedge fund partners and their non-dom status.

So explain how they being employees of banks are better able to avoid tax than a contractor (who presumably makes a good living off the back of them) who can be a ltd company

Oh, the number of times I've heard that one.

What is even funnier is when you reply to them, "OK then, I'm off." They go ballistic.
