Yes, it’s a global fucking trend, as it points out in your article.

 

Here is another article you’ll not read which shows your level of understanding of the current global economic situation  is, pretty much, 0.

It disproved your quasi O level economic bollocks. I can fully comprehend that your full of fucking shit. EU growth is only growing out of stale growth to begin with, and who was responsible for that low growth? Yes even you can guess it skippy, the eu.

I will give you a lesson Skippy free of charge, A. Covid will effect growth B. You put two economists in a room they will probably come out with two different answers.

 

There you go, throw the Adam Smith book in the bin.

On what level did it disprove, genuinely, I’m curious? 

 

I have shown that EU growth has disproportionately helped the lesser developed nations within it, their growth will be almost twice that of the bigger developed nations within it, this goes against larger economic trends of retraction in the wider world. All of this has had evidence provided.

 

There is the argument in full.

 

Now, I await your detailed response.

Yes, that is in my argument and the evidence I’ve provided, as I have referenced, not sure why you’re claiming this as your own as it seems like you’re adding after the fact to deflect from being fucking wrong, again.
 

I’m more Keynesian, in truth.

I think that's a little simplistic angry. 

How would you explain it?

 

You agree that immigration adds to the wealth of a nation. You've also, correctly and repeatedly, stressed that that additional wealth isn't distributed fairly. Who do you blame for the unfair distribution and why?

That's fine, I'm sure the Tories will happily make up any shortfalls from the £350 million a week we'll be saving. Or was that to go directly to the NHS, can't remember now?

Allied with this...

 

'How will ATAD work?

 

The directive seeks to tackle the thriving culture of corporate tax avoidance. For example, consider the scenario in which an EU company shifts profits to a related company in a low-tax country reducing the tax paid on these profits: under ATAD, a company could still do this, but the profits will be taxable at EU rates.

 

Another situation is where EU businesses developing a new product move it to a low tax country to avoid paying larger taxes on the profits once it is developed. Thanks to ATAD this tactic won’t work as member states can levy tax on the product before it is moved.

 

Even with ATAD, you might argue companies – through their nifty lawyers – will find new loopholes to avoid tax, right? The EU thought of that: ATAD provides a general anti-abuse rule to counteract these regimes where national laws have failed to address them.

 

There are many other measures in ATAD which you will no doubt be inspired to research. But before you do that, you will hear people air grievances that this Directive is another example of how the EU hates business or that it is another instance of Brussels encroaching on our sovereignty.

 

Dealing with the first allegation, anti-tax avoidance laws are not developed to harm businesses. Their objective is to ensure companies play ball in a competitive market which means paying their fair share of tax. Flowing from this, in a globalised market, agreeing a set of rules to encourage fair trade is hardly an encroachment upon sovereignty. It is an acceptance that the world today sometimes requires countries to come together and agree on things for mutual benefit.'

 

Strange that there was a rush to get out before this comes in to law...

 

Going to be a great few years for a few whilst the rest of us pay for it in higher taxation, those of us lucky enough to have employment that is.

 

Making Britain great again!

We're reading them quotes with the UK in mind. If you consider those quotes from the point of view of ordinary workers up and down the land then they are horrific.

 

If you change the context from all 6 quotes to what and who they are actually referring to then they make perfect sense. The rich Tories that paid for this will all be better off.
