Making the poor better off

[Berberis]

Relative poverty is nonsensical, you cannot eliminate what is a percentage of the mean average.

You can get a flight to North Korea via Amsterdam and Beijing. Pack a bag, honestly, you'll love it.

 

We need to help people here.

 

There's plenty of work to be done.

 

Where do we start after we've got rid of the Tories and fatcats?

[TJC1]

Do you mean avoidance or evasion?

 

One is legal, the other is not

 

Avoidance. To include high net worth individuals, off shore accounting, loophole closing, preventing multi nationals moving sales processing to another country...generally being much more aggressive closing tax gap.

We should ban the export of capital as it can't be taxed and invested or spent in this country.

 

We need to keep jobs here, in the United Kingdom.

Anyone who wants better themselves? Anyone who believes in a free and democratic process? A free press? By "get rid" do you mean kill or jail? Just so I know.

Well.......let me worry about things like that. You wont notice they've gone because we can invest in new hospitals, schools, housing and jobs for the people.

 

We need a new direction. A vision for getting rid of poverty.

Yes you can. In a pure communist system, everybody would be on exactly the average.

In a highly socialist system with heavy redistribution, nobody would be very far from the average.

It's certainly not impossible or meaningless to get everybody within say +/-20% of the average. It's just impractical.

You might notice the loss of the 50% of all income tax revenue currently collected from them. Try building more hospitals etc after that's gone.

I don't need a holiday but thanks for now.

 

Kim and I could share a few ideas......I'm sure.

 

Are you with me then, do you want to eradicate poverty from this great country of ours?

 

Tell me about your vision?

But we'll be working together to create something new and different.........let's concentrate on the positives of a post Tory society.

Costs a lot doesn't it?

 

We could bring those prices down.......I'm sure.
