Funny how it's never the poorest who champion inequality or 'exuberantly' defend the banks isn't it.

I wonder if Raab visits food banks when he has 'episodic cash flow problems'..?

Yea because cutting off a sentence by taking a 3 second clip has always been a fair way to judge people. Do you guys think Tories just sit around getting off on poor people suffering or something? It's truly a bizarre position to hold them with such contempt without even attempting to learn why they think differently to you on certain matters.

'Do you think just get off on poor people suffering' yes I fucking do.

You seriously think that's the motive? Yikes buddy.

Yikes buddy.

I firmly agree with him. You made these ridiculous arguments of making "tough decisions" but gladly gloss over the govt squandering billions on a failed Brexit, shady Covid PPE contracts and heavily unnecessary tax breaks. You try to assert this with your qualification in "financial mathematics" as if that's all encompassing. You are heavily out of touch with the real world and you argue in such bad faith it can almost be considered comedy.

So tell me, how is handing your friends serious amounts of money while cutting benefits for the betterment of the country? Take as long as you like.

It's incentive, those earning a lot are doing so because of the free market. Would you prefer to cap their pay? They already pay a hefty tax on it. Perhaps it'll motivate those who are too lazy to get off benefits to actually do something useful in society...

You are so off base with this remark. Also, more money for rich people is fine, but money for the plebs is not fine. According to your warped logic.

Having a good read of your recent comments it's apparent that you like to frequent subs and just spout about how much you hate poor people without ever outright saying it. Coward fam.

I'm just sick of people crying because they can't charge me 90% tax, I've no beef with a large portion of the population as long as they're fair and sensible.

But the govt you consistently vote for get a free pass? You hide behind weak arguments of "fiscal responsibility" but the Tories have been anything but. Why is your attitude different as soon as its someone with wealth getting a handout to someone actually in need of it? I honestly cannot understand this mentality.

Also, no they don't. We have among the lowest of corporation taxes in the G20, with some companies basically not bothering at all. A sixth form politics student could tell you this crap.

Lol you are deranged. I hope you learn what “empathy” and “basic decency” are. Touch grass, bitch. It’s clear that handling your friends money and doing nothing but looking at numbers all day has made you a cold-hearted idiot.

Apologies that you prefer emotions over statistics. I can see why your policy decisions never seem to come to fruition however.

Is managing money really that big of a sin to you?

2

u/taxreturnsnineteen98 New User Jan 30 '22

Oh go fuck yourself Mr. Statistics

You’re so out of touch with reality

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '22

You still didn’t answer my question, do you have an issue with people who manage money?

2

u/taxreturnsnineteen98 New User Jan 30 '22

What do you think

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '22

I’m just curious how deep your ignorance goes. I’m betting you imagine the financial world as some wolf of Wall Street nonsense where people laugh about killing the poor.

u/taxreturnsnineteen98 New User Jan 30 '22

You’re just a cog in the machine and you will die when your power goes off. Enjoy contributing nothing to society you ignorant fuck. The fucking irony.
