Originally posted by TaxInspector View PostThe UK Debt to GDP ratio doubled from about 45% to 90% between 2008 and now. That was mainly to re-capitalise the banks. That huge burden will be left for all taxpayers to bear for generations - if the 1% caused it, they're getting away with murder paying only 30% of income tax.
there we go just as I have always thought- taxation is all about punishment and not about what works best for society.

Originally posted by Doggy Styles View PostI don't see a lot of poor bailing out the rich.
From HMRC figures, in 1997 the best-paid 1 per cent of workers contributed 20 per cent of all income tax.
In 2007 it was 24.4 per cent.
In 2013-14 it is estimated to be 29.8%
The bottom 50% only pay 10% of all income tax.

Originally posted by TaxInspector View PostIf, yes. But the fact is the 1% now comprise mainly the wealth destroying bureaucrats who run large companies into the ground and pocket million dollars bonuses regardless of performance (Tesco anyone?) and bankers who run whole economies into the ground and get bailed out by taxpayers.
We already have a socialist economy - the poor bailed out the rich over 2007-2013 - would be only fair to reverse the process.
