My posting has 31 views, but not one response. I'm guessing this is because it's Dawlish in Devon, a very rich area if my ifo' is correct. Probably all rich Tory's as well. Am I going to be provided, right, or proved wrong ?
HuwMatthews2, Are you a Tory ?. If you dont mind me asking ?
Both.
We are a very wealthy country anyway, its just that all the wealth goes straight to the top in tax cuts. Its been this way since Thatcher in the 80's, while the rest of us have had to endure means tested top ups to low wages and state pensions becausae our system is subserviant.
Brazilnut. How can we be skint when we fight wars in the far east, uphold hird world countries and send billions a year to the EU ?
The point I am making HuwMatthews2, is that I cant see rich people being so greedy that they would move to a far off land, just to pay less income tax. The is the nonsense view taken by the right wing, to justify the free market system that already rewards rich people with huge tax cuts at the expense of everyone else.
HuwMatthews2, Never has there been a greater excuse for ripping off the poor. And also where would they go to pay less income tax ?
HuwMatthews2, No, we had a "New" right wing Labour Government who embraced Margaret Thatcher's free market policies for 13 years, which expanded the welfare State.
Lynne, 1997- 2010-"New" Labour embrced Margaret Thatcher's right wing, low income tax, short term, deregulated free market. Tony Blair and Gordon Brown ditched Labour's traditional core values to get the middle class vote. Socialist ? No. Thatcherite ?, Yes. No redistribution of wealth. Means tested handouts for the workers and the pensioners. Tax cuts for the top, again.
Brazilnut. Ive been struggling for over 2 decades to wake people up from their slumber about this right wing dictarership we have had running Britain since tyhe 80's. You and Lynne, are not alone.
