Anna B Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 You mean charging them a lot more tax isn't enough and you want yet more out of them? I forget - it's Sheffield. Anyone earning more than you is automatically evil. I hate to mention this, but the 99% / 1% theory is going to impoverish most of the middle class too. When the poor have been drained of every drop of blood and there's nothing left, they will be coming after the middle class as well. Only the mega rich 1% are going to come out on top. That's why, unless you are one of the mega rich, we should all be banding together to fight it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obelix Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 No, that's naive, I'm afraid. True in theory, but not in practice. In reality, whether or not your child gets in will hinge on how much private tuition you can afford for him/her in the skills tested by the entrance exam/11 plus (ie. to maximise his or her chances of success in the exam itself). My father was a miner. My grandfather was a fireman. I managed to get into a grammar school just fine. No tuition needed - I doubt my parents would even have been able to find one if they wanted to. ---------- Post added 22-01-2014 at 13:34 ---------- I hate to mention this, but the 99% / 1% theory is. .....is more of the same "oh woe is me it's all just awful isn't it" that you regularly trot out Anna.... The 99% was picked purely to give some air of legitamacy to these people and their claim that we are all in the fight together... Then they decry the "all in this together mantra" that Osbourne has been preaching. Sauce for the goose etc. ---------- Post added 22-01-2014 at 13:35 ---------- Fine, don't listen..... That's because you have nothing new to say I'm afraid Anna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 You mean charging them a lot more tax isn't enough and you want yet more out of them? Who else is going to pay off the trillion+ debt? What are you complaining about? It has to be paid, and you're the one's with the money now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I read that pensioners have never had it so good... http://citywire.co.uk/money/pensioners-have-never-had-it-so-good-says-ifs/a600238 Are you upping your contribution to the country?

Any country you look, any Gvt you look, any time you look. Certainly did not need to wait for your "99%/1% theory" to come along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 i can't get excited by this, mainly because i can't ever see it happening Exactly. Its the opinion of just one man, yet it seems to be getting passed off as some sort of fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
