RonJeremy Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Exactly that's why the rules should be tightened up so that he HAS to pay his dues. Ther perhaps he may move to monaco or switzerland and pay very little or no tax, thus depriving the UK of much needed funds. If it's so wicked what he's doing, why didn't your lot do it in between wrecking the economy over the last 13 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJeremy Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 No really, obviously not in all cases but if you are rich they will talk to you and negotiate rather than going for the actual amount owed. And don't even start me on what they do with companies who dodge tax, it is a disgrace. When you say dodge - do you mean evade tax or avoid tax? Nobody voluntarily pays taxes that are not due. (except those who play the lottery - the only form of voluntary taxation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUt they didn't. The coalition's policies are a result of trying to mend the mess the last lot left. Don't try to change history and pretend it wasn't 13 years of irresponsible imprudent management of the economy that has caused this mess. The major international financial and governmental organisations agree with their medicine for the Labour sickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more inclined to believe that we were all in it together if the fat cats in the financial sector actually stuck their hands up and admitted they'd screwed things up. They could take some of the pain too, instead of leaving most of it to the working poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB's mismanagement of the economy for 13 years has put us in a very poor situation to deal with it indeed. The wealthy, if you remember, had their tax burden increased to a 50%+ marginal rate, so infact they are shouldering the burden also. If not more. The wealthy also tend to pay more VAT on the goods they buy so they are hit more than the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find out all about the role of US sub-prime lending yourself, later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find out all about the role of US sub-prime lending yourself, later. I Have read it - the Indy is a well-known left wing paper and even that mentions among the reasons: Gordon Brown Oversaw the biggest real estate boom in British history and gave the impression he had abolished the economic cycle. "No return to boom and bust" was the mantra, but the budget deficits he ran up only made matters worse. Tony Blair watched him do it Financial Services Authority Britain's main financial regulator is sticking its nose in to all aspects of banks' affairs now, but only after a humiliating admission that it failed to keep a check on Northern Rock in the months before the bank's near-implosion. Regulators The watchdogs argue it is not their job to run banks, but from London to New York and Reykjavik regulators failed to rein in the excesses of the financial industry. Competition between financial centres for business added to the belief that the market would operate efficiently, producing laissez-faire policies that were exposed in summer 2007. GB's policies left us in a poor position to deal with the global financial problems. He was not just part of the cause, he was responsible for our difficulty in recovering from it. To try to blame the Cons and the Libs for it is just plain dishonest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
