Anyone perpetuating the trope that ‘I have worked hard and therefore I deserve my riches and it shouldn’t be taxed’ is untroubled by concepts like ‘nuance’ and ‘complexity’.
If you listened. I said politics is broken. We cannot afford the NHS that was designed for a different time. Society has changed. It’s not money versus working class. I hate inherited privilege. I want a different system. But I want everyone to care. Not blame. If you are Labour why hate someone who has given their life to earn for their family?
No I should be taxed. I am. 45%. Learn about percentages. See that 1 % of tax payers contribute so much.
I am happy to debate but….
And mascot. Google percentages. You clearly do not understand them. Earn more. Pay more.
You annoy me. I have worked too much. To miss my family and affect my mental health. But I am privileged? That’s the thing. I wish we all got the same as we put in. I put in a lot. Happy to pay tax. Never avoided it. Wished nurses got more. But do not feck me for trying.
You think it’s about ‘hatred’? And you want your opinion to be taken seriously by other adults?
The finances of the country are a fucking skipfire. There is no money. Hundreds of billions of pounds have been lost to economic mismanagement, acts of economic self harm, and good old fashioned naked corruption. That’s a legacy of 14 years of Tory government.
Labour need to raise money quickly. Where do you propose they raise that money? Squeezing the disabled, the single parents, the lowest paid again like Cameron did?
Just to widen the net from you slightly, I notice it’s all the people with union jacks all over their grubby bio’s on social media complaining about this. People unwilling to pay a little more, if they can afford it, to get their country out of a hole. How patriotic.
We all work hard, darling. You are not a special case. Some of us work a lot fucking harder than you for a lot less money.
Feck you. You have a stereo type. Labour need to raise ,one because this economy is unsustainable. NHS cannot funded how it is. Benefits budget cannot be so high. Pensions are fecked.
You are looking through you same tribal lens. That’s my point. It’s not me versus you. I grew up very poor. And too be honest wish I did not work so hard to try to be someone.
Ans mascot “ darling”. Not even me as poor boy tried would ever say that.
I have paid a lot more. It’s percentages. You my not understand. 45% of my earnings I pay willingly.
But spend it wisely. And do not say you need 75% as I have broad shoulders.
Are you pissed?
No. Do not drink. But you have a view. Engrained. Enjoy it.
I try to be opened minded. Find a solution. But current politics. Tory versus Labour will never find it.
I wish the best for my country.
And is ok. We all have our views. I am tired today. So. Let’s disagree.
No you don’t.
You pay nothing on the first 12.5k, then 20% on everything above that to about £50k. Then 40% on everything up to 125k. It’s only 45% on what you earn above that.
Personally I don’t see a problem with raising that top rate. Nobody earning over 125k is struggling and couldn’t afford to pay a little bit more.
You’re making this ask of a government that is a couple months in power, has found a colossal black hole in the nations finances because of 14 years of Tory mismanagement.
You’ll see Labour spending our money a lot more wisely than the last bunch of corrupt cunts.
By the way you are posting like you are drunk. Post something, step away and let people reply. Fucks sake.
No I don’t? lol. How the feck do you know?
The black hole is a game. To do what every Labour government does. Spent 26billion in 26 days. Saved the train drivers who struck the next day. Get a grip.
And the thing you do not feel. I gave so much to earn more than 125k. So not that’s easy? I deserve to be punished! I paid in mental health, time with family…
Was that right? Maybe no.
And you believe the black hole! Lies to justify same old Labour. Someone justs need to say this country is fecked. What you thought was ok in 1960 cannot work.
