Quote:
The starting salary for police, firemen, nurses etc hasn't gone up in 10 years, and yet the share of wealth amongst the top is consistently going up. This is by definition, an unfair society. It's just disheartening to see people misguidedly doing their best to protect the wealthy over and above themselves.

It is small businesses who will bear the brunt of a rise of 7 per cent, not big business unfortunately

The two manifestos are poles apart both disappointing in that they are so polar opposite in their spending, one is over the top, the second too prudent, neither appeal to me

There are tools out there to help small businesses. I know because I take advantage of them.

Well Corbyn is not exactly 'poor' he has an apartment in London (Surrey I think) and 7 bedroom house in Shropshire, so lets hope the same applies to him.

One appears over the top because that's how we've been conditioned. It's better to aim for the stars and land on the moon, than it is to aim for the ceiling and land on the floor.

Exactly, that's why we need to end the practices that allow people like JRM to avoid taxes altogether. His family got a nice grant of Ł5m in the last week to upgrade one of his ancestral homes, whilst he avoids giving anything.

Why wouldn't it? People doing well is not the issue.

Bill gates stopped working and started giving all his money away in 2010, since then his wealth has nearly doubled, for some context on why such extreme wealth is damaging to society.

Of course it's legal and above board, but avoiding paying into a system that gives you Ł5m grants to do up one of your houses seems a little off to me personally. I'm sure to others that like to live vicariously through folks taking advantage of the system, it's perfectly fine and acceptable. It's just a fundamental disagreement on how we see society.

People aren't concerned with issues like this, and instead will fight for JRM to pay nothing and take everything. That's the most damning aspect of this whole election campaign to me; caring has come to be seen as a weakness in this country.

JRM avoiding tax on Ł150m is good, but we should stop giving the homeless money in case a few of them aren't really homeless. There are no better champions of plutocrats and oligarchs, than those closer to the homeless than they care to admit.
