The post you are reporting:
Reg - I am referring to avoidance, the legal bit so the 90% of us you refer to, including me, who pay our taxes while making sure that liability is kept to the minimum are certainly not fools.
In fact your 90% is wrong, far too many, the majority of people, are paying more tax than they legally need to and are only doing so because they lack the knowledge of our complex tax system to avoid it.
What about the pensioner I met today, a state pension, an annuity and poorly arranged savings that result in her paying an effective 30% income tax at her marginal rate. She is fortunate, she won't suffer that next year thanks to me while also getting more income.... there are lots of people like that, ordinary people. We 'finance Johnies' who you hate so much help them.
You,Reg, express the most bigoted views I have ever seen on this forum in your hatred of success and promotion of mediocrity
You successful? Define success on your terms.
