That is a very true statement.

 

In my opinion there is never enough actually doing that though. Take take take without enough people putting in.

Better tell that to the likes of Amazon. They take the education their staff get, the transport infrastructure to distribute their goods and the healthcare system to keep their workers in work (though this is starting to fail). But they don't pay for it.

Actually they paid £648 million for it in direct taxes

 

Also don't their thousands of staff pay taxes on their wages and are provided with huge numbers of paid employment roles which in turn also contributes to their own spending across our society and businesses. 

 

Don't their warehousing and property and land developers and contractors and builders and traders and equipment manufacturing and supply business earn money from Amazon for all their businesses, in turn, creating thousands more jobs and paid employees in other industries all contributing to our tax system.  What about all the taxes and utilities and resources they have to pay for their vast fleet of vehicles and physical buildings.  Isn't that a big contributor to our economy.  

 

What about their expenditure for our banking and insurance services and legal services and consultancy which all is required to run their vast businesses in the UK. Isn't that further contribution?

 

Like I said. It's not so black and white.

 

They are paying the amount of tax that they are legally obliged to pay. Don't like it. Campaign to change the tax laws.

Our unemployment rate is bordering the top 20 lowest in the world rankings and our minimum hourly wage rate is in the top 10 highest world rankings.

 

…… Add on the fact that, according to the news, we must be doing something right considering we have boat loads of people desperately trying to get on to our shores everyday.

stats and rankings mean very little

 

is that before or after you add the other 5 million and the students

 

free housing doesn't apply to the rest of us.
