Its the labour party for me.

Yes, which therefore by Labour's own definition makes him wealthy, does it not..

 

Well it puts him in the top 5% earners which means he will be paying more tax than the other 95% so yes, on that measure he's wealthy.

Exactly, hence why I found his denial odd.

..........but she did not get in neither did the extreme left.....in case you did not understand!

 

No but a lot of people voted for her so that is in contrast to your statement that no one votes for the extreme "right" or "left"....in case you did not understand

No I'm not assuming that at all.

 

The Labour manifesto judged anyone as wealthy or rich as anyone earning over £80,000 a year, hence why the drew the line at which to increase tax at £80,000.

 

It doesn't matter whether they stash all their money in the bank, or give it all away to charity, that is where the line is drawn regardless.

 

Apparently it only matters if you're Corbyn?

.........I have never met anyone who openly or secretly would not wish to be more wealthy in some form or other!......never!

 

I don't at the expense of others.

 

And also if all the working classes wish to be more wealthy then voting for the rich powerful people (the tories) to be in power will not make them more wealthy. The tory propaganda machine is convincing people to believe that they will but they will not.

what line?

if he has the money, he pays the tax.. simples..i am sure he would not argue that point, i am not really sure where you are going with this, unless you think a socialist should work for nothing?

[Penistone999]

Typical Labour , penalise the wealthy . Just why do Labour hate anyone who is successful ?

[Robin-H]

What? The line is drawn in the manifesto. It's £80,000.

 

I don't care a jot what he earns - he could earn £1 million a year and depending what he did with it I would think he could still rightly call himself a socialist. That has got absolutely nothing to do with anything I've mentioned.
