less tax=more spending and investment.
Here we are today, and today we hear that those who do not expend much effort in reducing their tax liabilities are fools unto themselves. Do we hear that those who do expend this effort are the ones who are spending and investing today?
What is it that is for the economy tomorrow that is not for the economy today? What magic is to come that is to give freely, to those who today take, all that they could wish and this is to result in there being more for all?
"Less direct taxation delivers higher tax growth [proven]"
Less direct taxation requires higher indirect taxation which in turn increases the tax burden on the less well off. FACT!
Only while the less well off have the wherewithal to spend can there be such "tax growth". Another miracle! Those that have little today will be taxed more and this is to result in there being more for all?
"Less regulation delivers more productive time for business to thrive"
The shops will have to stay open until late, because all the shoppers will be striving for those that are thriving all the live-long day, in turn they will be paid less but have more through less direct taxation, but everything they wish to buy will have risen in price because of higher and higher indirect taxation and this is to result in there being more for all? Miracle number three, can the nailing to the cross be far behind?
"Most businesses are responsible & know to deliver fairness to their workforce delivers benefits to the organisation."
This is just a lie!
"Business entrepreneurs take the risks ...bla bla bla"
These people make a promise to themselves that they will do anything to keep: "To thine own self accrue."
If a new venture falters;wages, income tax, NIC, rent & rates and money owed to suppliers vanishes into thin air. The (so called) entrepreneurs change the company name and continue virtually unscathed. Wiser, perhaps - they may have learned to jump- ship sooner next time.
It is as if it is to become possible to build a tower with few bricks...you just keep on putting one atop another...and so on. Next stop, Cloud Cuckoo Land?
