Then why try to change anything at all? You may as well then say don't join a trade union as the bosses will just say no to everything (which I'm sure you wouldn't agree with).
Shall we try not to be silly? The recent Labour manifesto was chock full of expenses pledges designed to appeal to the Corbyn base. They were a lefty greatest hits album but not very helpful and nor did they, in my view, actually do much to fix the problems in our society. The biggest gap was actually winning an election..................
Close the loopholes and they will have to pay. You're telling me Starbucks or Vodafone will withdraw from the UK market because of a bit more tax on their profit margin? They'll walk away from profit because they'll lose a slice? Aye right.
Obviously they wont leave, but they will make their corporate structure as tax efficient as possible. What they wont do is easily hand over the kind of money the Corbyn clowns think they will.
And, on a wider subject, if the likes of Amazon aren't going to pay for the facilities they use, why do we want them here anyway? Parasites aren't healthy things to support.
Sorry to be all capitalist but he market ( aka us) clearly DOES want them here. That isnt going to change however much you wish that it would.
And loopholes can be easily closed. HMRC are now aggressively going after people paid through employee trusts after the Tories changed the law- and made the change retrospective. The Tories will close loopholes and collect aggressively- just they'll only do it against the little people.
I agree. However the people Corbyn expects to roll over and pay lots of their money to his government to give away to poor people are exactly the kind of people who can afford good advisors to come up with new schemes. That or just move off shore. If that happens Labour will have to go after the little people and what is considered rich will slide downwards.
