# 1697...It is obvious...``we have a society ( worldwide ) in so far too many people,Corporations and Companies are
happy to sit back and make a lifestyle on Tax avoidance and evasion ``
# 1697....thank goodness.....at last .....lets hope it is successful...........
Chancellor George Osborne in his budget speech in April described tax evasion and avoidance as "morally repugnant". But his
tax deal with Switzerland, as a fiscally useless spoiler, is a tax evader's dream. This government must repudiate it immediately.
If it doesn't, Labour must commit to abolishing it - or hang its own head in shame..............

What does "invest in people" mean?
I'm thinking of buying a person and locking him in a vault, hoping he'll increase in value.

Tom - #1699 - the problem is that government legislation increases risks in the wrong way and artificially. There are huge risks for people starting a business and these risks get greater and more onerous when people are employed. If you want more jobs, more business growth and a more prosperous society then we must encourage risk taking by removing/reducing those extra artificially created risks and blockages to that.

I do believe,if I am not much mistaken David,that you are practicing it with regards,for an example, the implementation,enfranchisement and management of the Bluebirds Market.

investing in people is a slogan that businesses like on their letter heading.
can mean sending a member of staff on a half day training course of no benefit to anyone.

Not really John, I have zero experience of markets but have found the whole experience uplifting.
We arrive at 6 and the traders soon after, they help each other carry boxes and erect stalls, watch each others backs, then spend the day selling their wares - trading and wealth creating in its purest form.
The only people investing are the Town Team in stalls, which has shown an excellent return, and the traders in pitches, the number is growing.
Markets around the world are a perfect example of useless politicians and bureaucrats getting out of the way and letting people get on and trade.

"... he hasn't replied.." Hasn't yet replied, might have been a better way of putting it.
How many appellations, buzz-words, characterisations, daemonisations, expletives, on through to zoologisms are to be used to refer to our fellow man before we use the word 'brother'?
Speaking for myself. I divide the world in two: Self and non-self, I do not leave things there though. I realise that 'I' need 'they' every bit as much as they need me, perhaps even a little more so.
The UK is a Nation and not a Plc,
Those who would build a castle of isolation will, as likely as not, die before completion or be killed along the way, and all shall become a part of the walls they wish to construct to shield them from the harsh reality of Life
Some say it is they who take the risk, in starting up a business, employing others and in keeping the whole thing going. Their employees carry none of this risk, these same some say, because benefits shall keep them in a manner to which they have become accustomed, through work. [Strangely, this is never because wage levels are low, but because Spartan benefit levels have risen to be a match for (Spartan) wages.]
To put it all simply. The people we all need to invest in are the same people who shop with the small business and on whom the small businessman must surely rely. This fact is at it's most stark, in the corner shop and on the high street, when pressure is put upon benefit levels to the exclusion of increased employment. What goes around comes around.
e.g.
Who shall be required to print; the Menus for Restaurants that have no diners, the fliers for retail outlets that have no custom?
As with the UK Pension Funds that invest in the UK the small businessman can ask, Where is my 'money' to come from?
From you!
Is the only answer.

I don't usually post about politics and no doubt I will get hammered for this one, so here goes.
And don't forget.....WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER.
659.000, the number of public service jobs lost through coalition cuts.
240, the record number of payday loan companies fleecing the poor at a maximum of 4.000% interest.
40.000, rich individuals and businesses avoiding some £10.2 billion in tax annually.
100 new aggressive tax avoidance schemes every year, despite government " crackdown "
90 Million, the annual cost of just 650 MPs expenses..
Yes doesn't it feel good to be as one. ....................thank you Ian.....................it`s not politics,unfortunately it`s a factual...
You should contribute more `facts` in future........
