Obelix Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 But Anna - you can make up any position you like with statistics.... People will survive just fine if they are flexiable and adaptable which is just what industrial robots are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*_ash_* Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 1975 30% tax on income, and all the other taxes on top; VAT etc. 98% tax on income over £200,000 (including tax on investments etc.) Yes, Labour policy of high tax, encouraged people to move abroad to avoid losing most of their income. I blame Thatcher for it!! :rant: Won't you think of the children?! of the racing drivers, who couldn't get life insurance for their wives and kids when they risked their lives every week, and lost most of it to tax... so one said let's move to Monaco... and the rich saw this, and guess what happened? Hard to unfix stupid tax laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pay these sorts of rates in Scandinavian countries and they have the best state of the art services, a steady economy, and a happy people. As for the 98% only 750,000 were in this tax bracket, they were the super rich of the day and probably still had £millions to spare. If I was paying 30% I would expect the super rich to pay about 50% as long as they actually paid it, and didn't employ teams of dodgy accountants to avoid it. They'd still have billions left. ---------- Post added 07-03-2018 at 00:11 ---------- Yes, Labour policy of high tax, encouraged people to move abroad to avoid losing most of their income.

The richer they are, the greedier they get. Edited March 7, 2018 by mort broken tags again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face it, they just don't like paying tax. The richer they are, the greedier they get. The tax burden on the wealthy has almost trebled since the 1970s. High earners are now responsible for paying a higher proportion of Britain's total income tax bill than they have done under any Labour government.
