17 March 2013 09:35220722but they are the mouse's friends so unlikely to do owt.
what about the double speak?
the mouse on TV mouthing off about these money lenders how bad they are
who gave a donation of £100,000 to the tories? yep you guessed it WONGA one of the worst money lenders
now you see why the lack of action while others bleedALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 17 March 2013 13:07220744When I suggested on the Forum that there be a one-off wealth tax towards the super-rich in Britain, very strong wording came my way that I am an aspiring dictator, a communist and a stalinist.
It god so bad, with the promise that the Government would prevent me from ever getting anywhere, that I gave up on this topic.
In fact, it was so awful, continuous, and unchecked, that I just gave up, shocked. The scars are too deep for me to get involved in this topic again here. So I won't be discussing it here any more!Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA

17 March 2013 13:15220746what a silly attitude AlexanderALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 17 March 2013 16:46220764Keith, it's a forgone conclusion that more and more people will be ready to agree with a Government decision to impose a form of one-off tax on the super rich.
Such a decision from the Government is not discussed in the UK at ministerial levels, at least not openly.
But I've been suggesting it for a few years now, and the Cyprus bank-account confiscation has undoubtedly opened many eyes as to how quick and swift any decision can go, with full EU backing.
Only, in that case, all savers are being targeted, not just the super rich.
But the hammerings received by me left a sense of self-preservation that took precedence over an urgently required economic decision. Any warning that the Government is aware of my idea for a one-off super rich tax and would take measures to ruin my future career as a result, led me to think of everything I could stand to lose, and so I backed off.Chanters, Drums and Drones Potty Time http://youtu.be/99fMqpjnXYA

17 March 2013 20:19220787yes we were trying to reduce it lolALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 17 March 2013 20:41220790just in case charlie needs it in 2015,will have to get there before eric though.
http://dealarea.foodbank.org.uk/ - 17 March 2013 22:57220794Mervin King, director of the Bank of England, is pushing for a £50 billion money printing QE round, but is in the minority.
The fear is that it would spark off mass inflation, as £375 billion have already been printed since 2008 in QE.
Could we be heading for a tax-the-rich move instead?
If the eurozone economy improves fallowing any further moves such as in Cyprus, masses of people here will call on the Government to tax the rich here in Britain, but not the small savings.
Perhaps just those starting with ten million pounds in private assets.
In Britain, 1% of the population owns 25% of the financial wealth of the economy.
But 25%, me among them, own only 1% of the wealth.
Is this a "commonwealth"??? Nope!
So yes, we will need a tax on the wealth of the super rich, but by the time it happens, most European countries will have already introduced it, so the super rich will not be able to "transfer all our financial wealth abroad", as Barry has suggested, because if they did, it would be promptly confiscated!
Now that's what I call international collaboration!

Idiotic - because such a Cyprus style levy would not cut the deficit at all. The deficit is the current account excess spending and a one-off levy will not solve that. In a few years we would be back where we started with massive debt
Economically suicidal - I expect we will see why that is when we see investment in Cyprus dry up and nervous deposit holders in Italy and Spain transfer their funds abroad.
Pure theft - it most certainly is and it is a result of the concept that government is or should be all powerful, that we are all serfs who should bend to the knee of government diktats, that our own assets are not ours at all but belong to the State who can dip into them at will.
Quite simply what happened is disgraceful, Franco, Mussolini, Stalin and Hitler would be proud of such a policy. - Brian Dixon

18 March 2013 06:55220801good try barry,more like cabinet ministers,treasury probably. - 18 March 2013 07:33220804Supporters of the principle behind the Cyprus bank levy seem to think that rich people actually keep their wealth in bank accounts.

- 18 March 2013 08:22220808I don't think anybody is after 'wealth' using this bank levy, just a portion of the money on deposit.Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.
