What we have today is socialism for the rich. A world in which the more you earn the less you pay in terms of % of your income.
Big corporations don’t pay any tax, so they can pay their rich shareholders big dividends, while small business owners better not miss one penny due of their business tax.
It’s a world where a minimum wage has become the standard wage, and people working full time can hardly support themselves never mind their family, that’s if they can get decent hours now that many employers have them over the barrel of a gun with zero hour contracts.
Meanwhile the tax payer steps in to subsidise the big rich companies that won’t pay their workers enough to live on with in working tax credits and other such nonsense. The public have also opened food banks for those who now find themselves starving in the UK in 2017.
Back on Rich street, the rich have the added benefit of extended ISA’s, capital gains tax allowances and property investment dodges to make sure all the cash they didn’t pay any tax on is now making them a nice tax free income.
And of course experts like Sir Fred Goodwin, who blew our economy to kingdom come (who admitted that no, he wasn’t a banker and was just kinda making it up as he went along) is drawing a pension of 350,000 quid a year, which in reality is being paid by us – the tax payers.
And oh yes. There are subsidised train companies whose directors are paid a fortune and indeed even though they effectively loose money (subsidised!) they still pay a dividend. Dividends paid to the rich by us the tax payer.
Then of course there is the East Coast line. Bailed out by the government, run as a national concern, turned it round into a big success – so what they they do? They sold it off and it’s gone to the dogs again.
Yup who needs Jeremy – everything is just fine.
