In the US last year, corporations paid a record low 11% tax, and they're only the ones who don't have bases in the Caymans tax haven. How much is too much? Corporations rely on people having money in their pockets to buy their products. The average earnings of the top 10% are growing exponentially, whereas the income of the middle/working class has remained relatively stagnant. Fairness doesn't mean communism or anti-capitalist. It means fair. I say this as someone who earns twice what our national salary is. I'm not a work shy, moaner. I'm someone advocating for fairness and everyone chipping in. |

All parties become complacent with years of power. The scandals hitting the last Tory government towards the end of their last term were almost a daily occurrence. That's just a fact, that is inarguable. Bush and Blair are supposedly different sides of the political spectrum, and that's the problem. The whole political conversation has become a centre right discussion. Arista, you really should take the time to read a different perspective to your own. The government should work for it's citizens, not the other way round. |

I contribute though my taxes. I also make donations to worldwide political organisations that are pushing for more progressive solutions to world events. Last year, for example, I flew over to Wisconsin to take part in fightback against an ultra conservative governor who stripped bargaining rights away from workers, after giving huge tax breaks to corporations.
I've visited many parts of the world to offer a pair of hands to work and help in the construction of village infrastructure. I also chip in to a Pizza fund for the occupy movement. My conscience is clear. I don't stand atop a mountain, looking down at poor people and sneer at them for not getting off their lazy arses. I involve myself in the things I'm passionate about. |

Remembering Kerry

We knew he certainly had likely the means and materials and his messing the UN inspectors about fuelled more suspicion definately although I do believe Mr Blair was very inventive with his presentation as to why we should support this invasion. Yes though, you are totally right,a lot was put Iraq's and Saddam Hussain's way from the UK govt especially at the time he was in conflict with Iran with the UK supporting him.

The UK arms industry is massive. We sell weapons to all sorts of people, no matter who is in power. Do you think that we don't sell weapons to tin-pot dictators when Labour's in the chair?
