Re: Corporate Tax Cuts? Better Personal Cuts

Well not quite correct. Ireland has shown some recovery from the days of it being labelled The Gallic Tiger, where excesses led to a chronic collapse. Nothing to do with socialism, but a lot to do...

Re: Corporate Tax Cuts? Better Personal Cuts

You might just begin by explaining why there was so little benefit in UK after tax cuts to 19%...

Re: Corporate Tax Cuts? Better Personal Cuts

In reality it is about naming and shaming. Call corporate tax avoidance what you want but ensure the public is fully aware of the shenanigans they (or many) are up to. The reality that they do not...

Re: Corporate Tax Cuts? Better Personal Cuts

Really? Try living on just over $41,000 a year then. Chances are an earner on such a wage would be paying rent, the subsidy would be probably lucky to cover a quarter of the cost. Probably right...

Re: Corporate Tax Cuts? Better Personal Cuts

Evasion. When even The Don speaks out against your apparent examples of prudence within the dodgy corporate sector, I'm referring to Amazon of course and their malarkey in creative tax avoidance. Not...

Besides being unable to defend the indefensible of course. Fairness in your book in corporate tax avoidance regardless of societal impact.

Re: Corporate Tax Cuts? Better Personal Cuts

Don't wriggle out of debate as is your inclination. You were referring not just to tax on cig's and Foxtel, but an overall consumption tax on everything.

Re: Corporate Tax Cuts? Better Personal Cuts

Which is why not a good idea. The essential things in life being value added taxed only increase the burden on those already finding it tough going.
The greater inequality the more social issues...

Re: Corporate Tax Cuts? Better Personal Cuts

A regressive tax that further inflicts pain on the poor and middle class. So the poorer don't need to consume as well? Perhaps you mean a luxury tax on non essentials? Although I doubt it. Any other...

Re: Corporate Tax Cuts? Better Personal Cuts
