ok bonzo lete us try to have a sensible tolerant conversation, what do you achieve by avoiding or saving tax.
1. less money for the government to spend on hspital maintence, less money for nurses and other frontline workers, empty field hospitals, less money available for fixing roads , less money availablefor preventing crime.
2
Your proposals do nothing to help the less well off in society, who have been put out of a job by brexit and the pandemic, the government needs to have money to pay for furlough schemes etc how else do they do it other than by taxation?
3 everyone who is a tax exile or to a lesser extent takes advantages of your advice, is only thinking about themselves they are being selfish, they are not thinking about the less well off in society.
4 society exits[ despite what Thatcher said] and for it to thrive it needs people who are concerned about the nation as a whole, not just themselves. being concerned about saving tax, is not seeing the whole political picture how it affects the rest of society, it is indicative of thatcherism " im allright jack ,sod you"
5 yes, i do pay tax, i pay motor tax, i pay tax on everything i buy.
i do not run a company [like the majority of mudcat members i guess], so your advice is of no use to me[ even if morally i was inclined to use it .
6 how many people on this forum will find your advice of any use to them?
