There is nothing finer than taking a break from chasing money to go and enjoy one of several overseas holiday homes or perhaps take the boat for a 'spin' around the Med. not for me........much better to spend a week in Cleethorpes in the pleasurable company of ones "fellow commoners" can't beat it!

Harleyman Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Well one things for sure if such a tax was designed to unfairly confiscate to a great degree a successful persons profits gained from hard work it stands to reason that many busineses and their owners would move out of the country to avoid said tax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 "The Proposal" (Animorphs), the thirty-fifth book in the Animorphs series by K.A. Applegate "The Proposal" (film), a 2009 film starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds "The Proposal" is an alternative title of Chekhov's play A Marriage Proposal Could you be a little more specific please? I shouldn't need to be. You refer to "the proposal" in your OP. Maybe you've forgotten what the thread is about though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digglydog Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 no of course there was but I think the 80's put the final nail in the coffin. thatchers plans might have worked if the rich stepped in with foundations and charities, but they didn't they just took all their money off to tax havens. Quite. The 80's was when greed became a virtue rather than a vice and left this country a poorer place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
