1) lower pension payouts as they can't pay the same dividends
2) an even greater public debt seeing as however much money you give the government they'll always spend between 3% and 5% more.
That's why I don't think it's a good idea for multinationals to pay more tax.
In fact I don't tink it's much good for anyone to pay any more tax tan they already do.
I like many would have been better off If I had put my private pension money under the mattress. This is with large companies who have a stranglehold on the investment market you get out less than you put in.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

the interesting thing was when you had dad n son applying for (admittedly sh1ddy) jobs - often much enthusiasm in the youngster not so in the dad - but then maybe thats what happens when life crushes your spirit.
The son's spirit is now being crushed and we replace them with a Polish Professor cleaning bogs.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Originally posted by SpontaneousOrder View PostIn other words, a funny thing happened as fast food workers were striking across the land - they were all just made obsolete courtesy of iPads.
It's true to these things are starting to sprout up in airports and service stations generally you choose and pay all up front and only see a person to pick up your goods....
so in essence the employee in this instacne literally takes your food from the back shelves where the chefs (?!?) put once it is made and put it on a tray
how can you pay someone $15 per hour to do that?Comment
