see the funny thing is media is controlled by those who own them do any of you guys have shares in the popular media? thought not...
Nope, still not seeing how this would be any worse than any of the bankers/brokers who crashed the economy. You can look for scapegoats all you want but we know who really is to blame.
No, arguing with Nexxo is a waste of time because he has a closed mind, and can't see things from someone elses point of view
But seriously, everyone in an pretty much everyone who contributes in a debate is set in their beliefs - the only people whose opinions can be changed by a debate are the people observing the debate...
I'd like to imagine I'm pretty flexible in my beliefs, I've reversed my anti-environmental views, anti-affirmative action stance and anti Afghan war effort to varying degrees. I'd be impressed though if I found an argument against means based tax that could change my mind.
Pretty much bang on, which is why debates are so bloody pointless, yet we all still have them. Also, people who change their opinions are normally people that never debate, because they normally never have an opinion, ha!
3rd hand info. But the first hand source would be very good Apparently the annual allowance is removed when you earn more than 100k. Silly idea as you can take a pay cut and take more money home. Tax should not work like this. Also tax was up to 98% at one stage (the 80%ish someone said earler but there was an additional 15% ish on investment income. Yes I'm a tax geek.
Not quite, it's decreased by £1 for every £2 over £100k you earn. Need to earn over around £113k before the allowance is removed completely. With a tax rate of 40%, and the loss of allowance of 50%, it looks like for every £1 you earn in this bracket, 90% will be lost... and that's not including NI or anything else. There probably are circumstances where you'd be better off taking a cut and getting more tax relief, but I think most people will take more home the more they earn, no matter what bracket they fit into.
