Empty It Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Thinking someone with property and assets worth 6 figures shouldn't be paying for their own care because then their brats won't get the assets, Tories outing themselves all over the place here. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 How about if we raise the minimum wage by 15 percent, give public sector workers a rise equivalent to the rate of inflation and revisit income tax - significantly increasing it for those earning over £100k a year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help your kids by making sure they have a safe loving upbringing which supports them to succeed on their own merits. It's no different to stating you don't want to pay income tax as you want to take the wife on a nice holiday. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm first in my family to buy a house, parents never, brother and sister haven't. I am wondering if I'm now middle class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who earns a more than decent salary, I would happily pay more tax if it means better public services. I am probably in the minority with that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly in the U.K. there are millions of deluded arseholes who think that home ownership/a few quid in the bank/a decent salary etc. means that their interests are aligned with the likes of Johnson, Mogg, Sunak, Patel, etc. It’s delusional and self defeating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've established from this thread that you're middle class if you earn 30k. Only you will know where you stand in the class system now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scary thing is, it’s not even unique to being a Tory. I know folk who I could never paint as being tories, who I know would never vote/ have never voted for them, and their mindset is “the Government isnae fucking getting their hands on it”. Just points to a general attitude in society of “I’m alright Jack, and if I’m alright, then f**k everyone else” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little wealth is ‘unearned’. Any wealth I have accumulated I have been taxed on including what I earned to buy my house which will go to my kids when I die. In fairness I got tax relief on my pension contributions, so there is that. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously anyone with any social conscience at all would be leaving their estate to the state, or charity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
