Inequality

We already have progressive taxation in this country. I don't think anyone seriously argues against it.

 

What I've never been convinced of is that expanding the Robin Hood style robbing of the rich to give to the poor is more desirable than using that finance to increase equality of opportunity.

Care to try and bang my missus before I run you through?

Just gave my brother's sister in law a bottle of wine and I gave her fella a box of Cobra. I received a box of fucking Matchmakers and a fucking miniature bottle of JD !

 

Don't talk to me about fucking inequality.

Drink them in one then draw a big circle on the kitchen floor. Then curl one out in the middle. Then leave.

Far too many middle class wannabe cunts in society. Take away their credit cards and make them pay their debts in one and they are nowhere near as comfortable as they think they are. Slaves to their jobs and how the Government want to rule them, scared of losing the job they ain't happy in as they know they'll have to join the ranks of the poor they despise. But hey, as long as they can keep the charade up of being comfortable they probably don't even realise what a precarious situation they have got themselves and their family in.

There are lots of working class people who pay for stuff on credit who are equally aren't able to pay for stuff up front, In fact If they couldn't get stuff on credit how can they budget?

You obviously struggle in reading what people are actually posting, so let me explain.

 

I posted. "Far too many middle class wannabe cunts in society."

 

The clue is in the word "Wannabe."

It didn't read like that, it read wannabe middle class, cunts.

 

Maybe you struggle with grammar?

what if Branson paid tax in the uk but closed all his businesses and lived off the interest?

 

I'm all for paying the right tax ( as it would mean I pay less) - but there will be consequences. Aligning international tax law will take ages.

You think if he closed his businesses nobody else is going to step in and employ people to run a train service, sell tv or some credit cards.

 

They would. Let him fuck off.

Jesus H Christ, I quote my own post which is clear for all to see yet you try to twist words around to suit your opinion. Do you honestly think people on here are so stupid that they can't read what was posted? 

 

There is nothing wrong with my grammar, it's not my fault you choose to spout bollocks when you can't debate. 

 

It would seem to me that Rico has invited another right wing fuck nut onto this forum, who knows, maybe it is a double account. Anyway, you ain't intelligent enough to put your right wing rhetoric into practice. 

 

You are the same as Rico, a fucking WUM trying to bang the Tory drum.

 

This really is the last correspondence between us both, fools should suffer in silence.

Poor is a relative term though isn't it. Compared to the CEOs then we are all piss poor but in real terms how 'poor' are these people actually?

Relative poverty is generally accepted to mean having an income of 60% or less of the national median income.

 

In the UK, an increasing number of people are becoming destitute - sleeping rough, relying on food banks, etc. Also, a large number of working people have been dependent on in-work benefits - effectively, taxpayer-funded subsidies to the gazillionaires, so they don't have to pay their workers decent wages and they can keep a bigger share for themselves.

 

At the same time, there is a clear trend not only of the incomes of The One Percent leaving the other 99% behind, but also of the richest 0.01% enjoying stratospheric increases in wealth and income compared to the rest of The One Percent.

 

Serious economists argue that there is a causal relationship between these divergent trends.

The public sector ran the East Coast main line better and more cheaply than the privateers managed. I'm sure we could do the same on the West Coast main line if Shitbeard fucked off.

You do get aggressive when people disagree with you don't you. I think it's a trait of the left.

 

I'll admit I was on the wind up when I said about RB selling up but I've no idea who Kloppite is - talks sense though, hence why you are getting your knickers in a twist.

I think everyone should earn the same. If this were to happen, you wouldn't have petty criminality or people sitting on their arses. They're only doing so because of a lack of incentive to work or a poor upbringing, brought on by capitalism.

Where's the insentive to do well at school, study, go to uni, put more hours in, get promoted, take more responsibilty, run a buisness?

 

A cleaner should earn the same as the Chairman running Tesco's or a brain surgeon, really?? Thats just fucking mental!

No, not really. There isn't a Communist on the website. Well, not one that posts regularly anyway.

 

I think the general conclusion, not by everyone obviously, is that the level of disparity between Branson and the people you grew up with is unhealthy and unfair.

No communists on this website just people thinking bin men should be earning the same as Formula One drivers and people wanting to silence people for oppsosing political views!

Because right-wingers are famously polite and conciliatory to the people they disagree with. Just look at all those headlines saying "Jeremy Corbyn Makes an Interesting Point, but We Disagree"

 

 

 

First they sat down for a brew and a chat with the Socialists, but I wasn't a Socialist, so I did nothing.

You do realise I don't write those headlines don't you? Or do you?

 

You wouldn't have to go far to find 'string them from lampposts' comments on here. Not 'I don't speak to Tories as they are all cunts' but I expect they do, and I expect they are full of shite.
