Meanwhile, the rich get richer..

[Guest sibon]

Well for a start, I'd close down my buisness, take my capital and leave.

 

That'd lose you about £240k in personal taxation take a year, and put 40 people out of work.

 

All hail Socialism.

 

Why?

 

Where would you go?

 

Would you want to come back as a visitor?... Do note, I didn't say "Citizen"

[Obelix]

No, I'd come back as citizen thanks.

 

I certainly wouldnt give any money in taxes to as ungrateful a country as one that treated people like that though.

If you don't pay your tax, what makes you think that you are entitled to citizenship?

[Obelix]

What tax? I won't be liable for any tax - I'll have left.

 

I'll still retain citizenship though.

And all your customers would leave too would they?

 

Is it not the case that an opportunity would appear in the market for a budding entrepeneur. Maybe someone who is more interested in contributing to a more equitable society, as opposed to someone with outdated ideas of amassing personal wealth.

 

I think £225,000 per annum is a good enough incentive, don't you?

[Guest sibon]

You'll need to be reading about HMRC's new reciprocal agreements then.

 

You can do it tomorrow though.

 

Tonight you can wonder about where in the world you'd most like to live.

 

Whilst you are in a philosophical mode, you might want to consider who is worst; a tax avoider, a tax evader, or a benefit cheat.

Not really no. I pay enough tax already thanks - a considerable amount more than most, and as a proportion more than most as well. I also directly employ 40 people and pay them a good wage too. Is that not good enough?

 

No I'll take the product - and the IP naturally which means that no-one will fill the gap and move closer to my main sales market.

 

That will of course lose you my tax, the tax of those workers, you get the cost of thier dole to pay, and you lose out on the very small amount I'd add to a manufacturing based recovery. All for your outdated punitive taxation.

 

Meanwhile I make more money, and more profitably because labour costs are less. I can even get Marmite shipped out.

 

You see, despite it being shown time and again, you simply dont get it - all of you socialists and social wanabees. Tax the wealthy to death, and they just leave - and you have a screwed economy. Yes you may have people at the top you dont like, but the alternative is to have everyone at the bottom, and that bottom is much lower than the current model.

 

But hey. Cut your nose off to spite your face. It's no real concern to me.

That would be the benefit cheat

 

The others are not socialists.

Where are you off to then?

 

And when?

 

And can we have a party?

 

And did you know that Marmite is freely on sale in most countries in the world... no need to get it shipped.

 

I really couldn't care less if you go, to be honest. What this country needs right now is committed and talented people who will do their bit. A bit of moral fibre, if you like. You strike me as rather self centred and fragile, not what we need at all. We'd be better off with stronger people than you... and I'm sure that there are plenty around.

You are going to employ them are you?

 

I'd be interested in knowing how.

 

Oh and you'll be stumping up the quarter million a year? As well as all the corporation tax etc?

 

Well?
