It’s not just the tax avoidance.
The rich, by virtue of being rich, have choices most of us don’t have,
most especially the choice to do less.
Once a high earner realised that 50% of any additional money they
dared to earn was going to a complete knob like Brown, just so he
could piss it up the wall, was enough to make anyone take their foot
off the gas.
Economic competence does come into this argument Feral Underclass
likes to make it sound as if any tax cuts are coming out of the mouths
of babies.
If we thought our tax cuts or tax rises were being measured in hip
operations, it might be a different story, but the waste in the state
is endemic.
For a start, at least 30% (possibly more) of our taxes just disappear
in the complicated merry go round (giving with one hand taking away
with the other) of the left wing social engineering way of collecting
them.
But what really grates is the way the left prefers to describe the 50p
rate as a tax on the rich when they knew it was no such f**king thing
because it kicked in at £150K.
OK, a good living, but, on those incomes, you’re still getting up
early on a cold Monday morning and the vast majority paying that tax
were nowhere near millionaires.
Some headmasters were paying that tax, top healthcare professionals
and small business people - the responsible dedicated hard workers in
our society that frankly deserve everything they get.
I don’t know about you, but I rather believe the years of hard work
and dedication to become a top surgeon and the truly frightening
responsibility that goes with it rather deserves more than, “You’re a
lucky bastard you don't deserve to earn that kind of money.”
No wonder Maggie called it the politics of envy.
