Going back to the core of the subject I had the privilege of working for the Admiral Group and they reward their employees with £1,500 worth of shares twice a year. Each employee has to wait for 3 years before they can cash them in but they can collect dividends immediately. While I agree it did encourage loyalty and better buy in from the staff I also believe they used it as a stick to keep wages down and this was quite evident at times.

It's ok, I prefer to focus on growing revenues

It is unlikely that anyone with a half decent tax advisor who has their own business or is self employed will pay any more than 35% of their income in tax anyway. There is no morality about paying tax anymore anyway, but because so much of it is squandered and is clearly better spent on throwing toga parties than being spent on keeping people out of work.

Fook me that's a lot. I don't think I've ever paid more than 20%, thanks largely to tax advice.

Agree to much of what you say though; here in NL there's been massive increases in spending on education and health and a recent report after a government investigation shows most of the increase has been squandered on over the top management. As for healthcare expenditure,
