Earnings

[VNA]

VNA, If you stop corparate welfare as you call it, all you will acheive is create mass unemployment as a lot of companies will just up sticks and move abroad.

How do you figure that?  Lets take an example of a prime tax dodger, and incidentally a company that pays large numbers of it's staff at or around the minimum wage;

Starbucks;

So we make Starbucks pay the corporation tax that's it's been dodging, on top of that we make em pay a living wage so that tax payers don't have to top up the pay of their staff.

What is wrong with that Lew?  You know if Joe Blogs with his one wee coffee shop down the high street has to pay all his taxes, why should the massively profitable Starbucks not have to, and indeed be given a unfair competitive advantage?

And if Starbucks doesn't like having to play fair?  Well yeah sure, they can foc off and move out - who gives a foc.  Cos you know what will happen.  Where there is a demand, there is a business and money to be made.  Well I doubt for one minute that Starbucks would move out, but it's no loss if they do.

And please explain to me Lew why you think we should subsidise the massive Starbucks and their super rich shareholders?  Why should little people like us give them money, money for nothing, when we haven't even as much as bought a foccing coffee off them?

Concerning your , we want independance for Scotland, you have had your vote and it was a resounding NO so live with it.

Lew making the same dodgy statement repeatedly will not make it any more relevant than the first time you stated it.

And I answered it comprehensively in post 65. 

In short YES WE CAN!  YES WE WILL!
