The post you are reporting:
Interesting Mark - you are showing the kind of thinking the sets a massive gulf between you and me.
1/ Are you suggesting that these companies are not paying the levels of tax that they are legally required to do? If you are not alleging dishonesty then yours is a pointless question. I sincerely hope that all companies and individuals, including you, are getting the right advice that minimises the level of tax that you pay, something open to all of us to do. In fact I do my very best to ensure that a lot of people do just that whether wealthy retired individuals, plumbers, electricians, teachers or a postman.
2/ Yes indeed the young have been betrayed by 13 years of a Labour government's incompetent economic management. As always Labour governments leave more unemployment that they had when they gained office. If they had been more sensible with their fiscal and monetary policies we would not have been hammered nearly so hard by the recession and would not have such a struggle facing us to recover.
3/ Rather suspect figures here. Once again though the wrong thinking being displayed. It is not really important to you just who else has wealth, far better instead to focus on accumulating more wealth for the benefit of yourself and your family by working hard, saving and investing. Many people do you know and very 'ordinary' people like me (a Tower Hamlets lad) and many, many others do just that and can build quite substantial portfolios in the process. The government makes it easy with tax reliefs on pensions and tax beneficial investments like Cash ISAs and Stocks & Shares ISAs for example. This is not the dark old days when investing was something only in reach of a tiny minority, everyone who works and earns money can do so and have access to top investment management and advice even if they invest £50 a month.
4/ Ahhhh, no-one should be dependent on benefits for the long term. With the banks of course you are again highlighting one of Brown's cock-ups over regulation and his Mansion House speech encouraging the banks to go out and take risks. Some unfortunately did just what Brown said. At least when the bank shares get sold they will repay that bail-out and the dividends/capital gain will represent earnings for the taxpayer. Not something that applies to people who are really on benefits.
So Mark - what exactly was the point of your questions as I am sure you did not intend to highlight some of the many shortcomings of the last government?
