AS. UK has to face sluggish development and growing fiscal pressures, Independent The readers have been vocal about who should give foot to the bill – and how.
A broad consensus has emerged: rich will have to pay more. Rachel Reeves’ £ 100bn housing, plans for defense and NHS were met with approval in principle, but worrying about how they will be funded in practice.
The readers rejected the idea that taxing the millionaires would be a large migration, it would be a long -time myth. Instead, many urged Reaves to transfer tax burden from workers to billionaires, property investors and technical giants.
Others argued that years of penance, rising house prices, and personalized utilities have left the bill to the public, while the richest money is deposited.
Meanwhile, Institute for Fiscal Studies has warned that another economic slowdown “Nearly certainly” will trigger the fresh increaseThe council is already determined to increase the fastest rate in a generation with tax.
What did you say here:
Trickle-down economics is a lie.
UK millionaires have left 0.3 percent. A small ratio that probably did not even pay the tax rate as a worker. They clearly do not care about the UK. I bet that their property and business still work here, though. The USA has a capital flying, and China will not allow anyone to make millions in China, while Piana in Dubai repaid Coladas without paying taxes. Wait with impure fear that our millionaires are our savior-they pay as low as possible, and trickle-down economics is a lie.

Sales tax on all foreign technical companies
If Reavs levies 10 percent sales tax on all foreign technical companies (Google, Amazon, Facebook and Twitter), we can not only afford the benefits and health bills, we can also take the risk of taking out most of the workers completely out of income tax.
She does not choose.

How will £ 100bn be raised?
Tax hikes will come because Reavs has just announced an investment of £ 100bn in housing, NHS, defense and energy, without saying how all this will be paid.
‘Review of spending’ is barely worth the paper that is written on how this additional £ 100bn has been raised is written without detailed analysis. For me this expenditure is necessary and correct, but it has to be paid for it. A responsible and sensible Chancellor will already have plans, but so far Reavs has nothing on it.

Toryse added £ 1.6 trillion to national loan
2010-2024: Torses add £ 1.6 trillion to the National Date and the press barely raises a eyebrow. What do we get for this? A small number of our current essential services, under-investments, a small number of new billionaires.
2025: Labor adds £ 194 billion to national loan. What for? Many long -term infrastructure projects. The press, the frightening ‘sir’, goes to the orchestrated, mad. And we wonder why the place is falling.

Things cost money. If we want more things, we have to pay more

Take it from hoarded billions
If you need cash, you take it from hoarded billions that sit there, but do nothing, but collect interest for the rich. This is what the war government did this. You do not seize their money – you only use it while they do not use it.

Submitting loans directly to private sector
All the money going to the treasury through electricity, gas, water, etc. has gone to all shareholders. What a great idea – at the cost of a consumer.
We are going to sort the debt from the water of the Tems and are to hand over it back directly to the private sector so that someone else can rip the consumer. This is called capitalism.

Reverse the damage done by Brexit
The only way to repair the economy is to reverse the damage done by Brexit – more than £ 100 billion and counting …

Either join or finish it
Ever since we left the European Union, the economy has been shrinking. Either join or finish it and accept unavoidable.

Tax is fundamental for public services
Those of us can be taxed on those who can already tolerate it
People (fair) taxes to fund public services are the basic point of the government.

Millionaire escape is a long -standing myth
The answer is simple: Super-riches need to start paying their right part in taxes.
The idea that fair taxation provokes some type of millionaire migration, is a long -standing myth. In fact, millionaires are more stable than the population as a whole, and there is no evidence that taxation has a significant impact on their movements.
It is important to push back against fear and demand that the super-ride draw its weight.

Shift tax burden
They are welcome as long as they are on the rich side of the tax growth population.
This is the time to move the burden from bottom to top.

Housing of money
In the last 30 years, the safest and best investment housing has been … is earning money on fist at the rising prices of the rich house.
Unfortunately, it has come at a cost – young people and poorest can no longer accommodate.
To remove balance, taxes should be raised on this hoarding of money in housing. Of course, this will never happen, but until it will, the UK economy will be a matter of a basket because the increasing number of people spends the high ratio of their income at housing, with £ 0 to spend in the economy.

Billions of billionaires will be left to Trampland
Billions of billionaires will be left to the country and will have to go to Trumpland, where their huge wealth will be given better recognition as a great property – for themselves.

You can’t cut your way for development
Austerity is so effective. The national loan was increased during Cameron’s penance drive.
You cannot cut your way for development. You cannot dismiss your way for complete employment.
Economists have a lot of source data from previous economic accidents – they know what works and what not.
There is no demand from spending cuts.

Increase VAT and increase tax limit for the poorest
You will be much better to increase VAT and also increase the tax range for the poorest to compensate.
They spend their money to promote development. This issue will be a strong government fiscal discipline to avoid stimulating the effects of inflation.
