Radiators have become nice ornaments, like the china plates your gran would put on display, but nobody ever got to eat off them.

Neo-liberal late-stage capitalist.

 

[Oooo]

and tax is at its highest level since the late 1940s!

 

[Bristolboro]

Neo-liberal late-stage capitalist.

always seem to be at this stage. Capitalism just keeps renewing itself and there's nothing liberal about it. That's an illusion. Meanwhile, we can barely afford the essentials while a minority have obscene wealth. I wonder how bad it has to get??????????

 

[Bristolboro]

I mean, do we have to be starving and frozen before there is some kind of wealth redistribution?? Why do we put up with this insane unfair system?? .. and then call it a democracy.

 

[Ash88]

The only way the wealth will ever be redistributed is if we distribute future wealth among ourselves as the majority.
People complain about the wealth Jeff Bezos has, but the same people are not willing to stop shopping on Amazon...

 

[Same_as_before]

Or borrow $250,000 off daddy and start your own Amazon. Evidently we can all do it.

The only way to beat it is, sanctions against Tax havens, 60% tax on anything left to you over say £250,000, do not let businesses trade in the UK if it has a domicile group company.

Make family trusts illegal

Hit them and hit them hard.

looks like we've had, then, if everything we do just keeps the system going. What gets me is the way the media present inflation, fuel costs and austerity as if there's nothing we can do about it. Meanwhile, the rich get richer.

but a liberal democracy wouldn't allow that. Some always have to be more equal than others.

 

[Centralscrutinizer]

We're not a Democracy we're a Chumpocracy, the country that voted to sabotage it's own economy by leaving the EU and then voted in, with a massive majority, the most incompetent and dishonest government ever seen.

That mentality is part of the problem. It's easy to say "tax the rich" while sitting at home doing nothing about it...

We'd be taxing every single supermarket CEO in the UK, and to combat the tax rises on the individuals, prices would go up... and there's nothing we'd be able to do about it because we'd still be too lazy to shop anywhere else, so we'd just go back to complaining and doing nothing.

Besides, taxing anything over 260k isn't taxing the rich, its taxing the average household.

The average household is nowhere near this figure

 

[Bristolboro]

just don't get why the average working person votes for the CONservatives. Who do they think they actually serve??

260k in the average household? Has my Mrs been stashing money?

 

[zzzzz]

And they will still vote Tory.
Because they are stupid selfish gullible fkwits.
