Gonzo's Erection Thread

Just shows what the ECHR has done to us doesn't it

 

Think you missed the bit about raising taxes for the wealthiest as opposed to just borrowing. Again, not just my idea - check out Warren Buffet.

 

Exactly, the disabled and raped won their cases against the Tories, who then jumped on a terrorist attack as an excuse to get rid of the law they used to successfully defend themselves

 

Let me repeat - again! - that it's not just borrow and spend: it's tax, borrow and invest, and that's not some new, Corbyn-type economics. Even Hitler believed in pump-priming a deflated/depressed economy. And look - trickle down just does not work. The top 10% of taxpayers pay 38% of their earning (note - not their WEALTH), whilst the
lowest 10$ pays 39% of their income. And what do the richest do with that ^62 of income left? Spend it on items that us peasants can make or service? Do they ****: that which isn't claimed back in tax relief is primarily squirrelled away. It's not spent, and before you say it's used by the banks to be invested into the economy - no it ****ing isn't.

the biggest con that the western world and its magnate-owned media consistently pulls off is that in times of recession we need MORE tax cuts for the rich to reflate the economy. Trickle down doesn't work and never has done - ask warren Buffet.

 

Im not saying dont spend but the last part i was referring to was not to spend during the good time and spend during the bad.

My referring to the labour part was that we were already high in debt due to their spending and now we are close to the edge ala italy and greece.

Anyway as i said if corbyn got in he could have been spectacular or we could have gone total greece style depending how decent he was.

I dont necessarily disagree with tax hikes but you cant just go to 75% tax (corbyn wasnt suggesting this) in order to give money to the lowest and have trickle up.

Globalisation is what has killed the national tax revenue in terms of tax evasion/avoidance.

As for jezza wgether he was going to be able to collect all of the taxes he envisaged for all his profits is one thing. I believe his manifesto also included borrowing another 20 odd billion was it not?

Nota bene why nurses pay 'can't'' increase.

 

I wonder why Theresa May is so #desperate to get the Serious Fraud Office shut down...

Oh.

Theresa May is getting completely owned by the DUP

Just quit now FFS rather than embarrassing us by being replaced by a note handed in the middle of a Brexit negotiation

Been a quiet week so Theresa spends the day drinking champagne with millionaires

 

Can you post this on General Chat? I'd do it myself but I just feel grubby even going over there again.

 

Done ............I don't spend any time on GC, sounds like a bit of a lunatic asylum.
