Want lower crime? Hire security guards. Want better educated staff? Offer training schemes. Want your staff to be healthy and therefore more productive? Offer private healthcare.
but still how does tax apply to raise wages?
Citation needed.
We already have fairly high taxes and the quality of public services is not in line with those high taxes. Increasing taxes without a substantial improvement in public services is not going to please anyone.
Or we could go for an approach that is far more efficient and responsible, and not rely on forcing other people to pay for our desires...
We adopt progressive tax policies, raise the minimum wage and set a good example in public services by bringing contracted out services such as cleaning back in house and providing them with respectable pay and conditions. Oh, and you tax holdings in the UK, so anyone who owns stuff in the UK pays taxs on it.
Don't let the door hit them on the way out?
The "Rich" leaving is (a) massively exaggerated anyway and (b) only a problem if you believe they're "job creators" or some other laughable nonsense rather than swollen parasitic tics on society they mostly are.
Interesting article from the New Scientist: Why respectable people turned to looting
That would increase unemployment
What comic did you get that notion from?
'Progressive' tax policies as espoused by the left are usually anything but, instead amounting to punishing people more successful than them.
What a lovely, rational response that doesn't at all show a completely retarded awareness of national finances.
The top 10% of earners currently pay 50% of all income tax, just as an example

which means you have to raise benefits too, as the cost of living will increase proportionally with increased wages, which means nothing changes everything is the same.
No one has any extra money as the cost of everything went up because they're having to pay more in wages.
When they added the tariff to non doms the amount of people who ****ed off permanently cost them more than the huge levy brought in in that year alone.
after all the top 1% of earners pay 24% of the total income tax revenue.
the top 10% of earners pay over Half the total income tax revenue
where has the bottom 50% of earners pay only 11% of the total income tax revenue..
the rich are clearly already paying their way.

A good, intelligent insight...rather than the usual rabble of morons.
To the above poster, I believe a static Tax needs to come in, it would simplify the situation and no one should be able to moan (reasonably anyway).

So you're acknowleging that it's nothing to do with claims of poverty and a need to steal money from productive people to give it to wasters then?
The top 10% of earners currently pay 90% of all income tax, just as an example
Yes, by claiming over 90% of all income, and an even larger percentage of all wealth. And the situation gets dramatically worse as you go up, the top 5% hold vastly greater percentage than the 5% below them, and so on as you go up.
And top 10% is a surprisingly low cut off. I'm in the top 10% of earners. The rich I'm talking about are not the top 10% but the top 1%, and by wealth not income. The vastly over-rewarded brokers in banks, and directors of companies.
It doesn't have to be this way, Europe is full of countries that perform better than us. And Japan, for that matter, which has lower taxation, also manages to be vastly more equal.
Good non sequitur, Dolph, even by your standards.
Silly double post.
the top 1% pay a quarter of all income tax.
