Non-Believer Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 To be fair, he hit the middle earners too. The privileged top end remained pretty unscathed. I wonder if they include the Quayles and Andersons of this world...just a thought.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they include the Quayles and Andersons of this world...just a thought.. It would make little difference. People earning 100k plus make up at most 5% of the work force.

gettafa Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Are you trying to say that isn't an awful lot? (It's more than UK btw) So as you walk down the street, 1 in every 20 people is earning over £100k. That's a sizeable amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notwell Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Could be less. Maybe a couple of percent. I don know for sure. I thought i heard a few yeas ago a statistic that antone earning overy 50k was in the top 8% of earners but I might be mistaken. The point being that raising taxes needs to be done across everyone. Taxing high earners achieves little because there are not that many of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 What interests me, and this is purely hypothetical, is that persons in receipt of both Govt salaries and considerable uplifts in respect of Govt grants for their businesses might also be able to even legally avoid paying tax on it or even be entitled to our HNW preferential tax rate? WTF? Lots of leadership there then, potentially, what's the chances of that being addressed?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notwell Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 You have to earn over about 620k a year on a very consistent basis to be a tax capper. So, no...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asitis Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 It dawned on me this morning having driven down a road which nearly took the bottom out of my car, and past multiple eyesores and derelicts, would the IOM make you think it was a thriving economy where lots of wealthy people lived ! It sure wouldn't but it did make me think of one simplistic question ? Where the hell has the millions upon millions of pounds government have received over the past thirty or so years gone. I am afraid we look like any run down northern UK town interspersed with lovely countryside ! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Far too much has been spent on "friends", "consultants", flawed and failed projects and huge pensions and payoffs to those entitled to such in the times of plenty. Unfortunately, the entitlements remain now harder times are upon us. Funding them is now the elephant. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannin1 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Listening to the fawning going on in tinpotland today we are going to be saved by the new house, and still sign of the levinson report being discussed.

Moghrey Mie Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I thought some of the newer younger members actually had something to say in the debates over the last 2 days. eg nursery provision, living wage and shared services Who or what is levinson? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Means Lord Lisvane. I'm sure Quayle won't want to go there, not after listening to his amateurish blusterings to the man*. (I think the poster mixed up with Lord Levison - as in public inquiry into the press after the News of the World thing. He graced these shores with his esteemed presence too. I think he is a bit of a buffoon, as senior judges and lawmen often are. He gave a speech to the Isle of Man Law Society and just read off a piece of paper. The Society could have saved a few bob and just put up a Skype link, or just a Youtube recording, or just handed out copies of his sheet of paper. It was a waste of an evening but the canapes were nice) *I though Lord Lisvane was an ok-ish sort of bloke. I doubt he swears or uses bad language but I bet when someone told him "that Mr Quayle who gave evidence on the Isle of Man - well he's been made Chief Minister", well I bet Lisvane said words to the effect of "fack me, you're 'avin a larf aintcha" Edited January 17, 2017 by gettafa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmower Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Means Lord Lisvane. I'm sure Quayle won't want to go there, not after listening to his amateurish blusterings to the man*. Listened to his winding up of the "Special Place to Live" debate today by the Chief Minister - amateurish blustering very much to the fore. No dynamism, flourish, vision or commitment. Bell would have taken the chance to put in a show stopping performance - this was after all the plan for the future of the Island and this Government for five years. Speeches made by the new backbenchers were a much better listen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
