And Then He’s Back…

   So Trumpton’s a winner. Wot happens here? I know, let’s go spray the US Embassy orange eh? Well done just stop oil.
   Regards Steer Karmer I see he’s slapped some nasty taxes on a goodly percentage of our farmers so is he now just stop soil? Never mind, the young folk, thanks to our wondrous education system, don’t care as all they see is just a house in a really big garden and anyhoo, the shops are always full o’ food, right? But where does it come from then? Errrr...

And Then That Is It…

   ...it’s over and all we can do down here is wait for the tax hits shot onto businesses an’ such to be passed on - plus a bit - to us down here.
   Will money will fix the NHS, blessed be its name, well, while I was in dock recovering from the tick-a-tack and lunch was a tad late, I consoled myself knowing that way up in the hospital was a gender manager on an eye watering salary.
   Budget? Same old story, different author. Boy, do we need, nay deserve a change.

And Then An Old Tax Plan…

   May I humbly post this again prior to that big budget day in the forlorn hope those wot would rule over us see it and give it a moments thought. Yeah, right.
   While visiting another dimension earlier today, I thought of a cunning plan. A cunning and childish plan. So childish be the cunning plan that it may well baffle the boys and girls of the Lower Sixth.
    What do those above us continually tell us lot down her? The fact that school children have no wish to learn. Our workers have no wish to advance. Our benefits system is so generous nobody wants to 'put out' to 'get on'.
So lets simplify things by having just two tax rates, say 15% and 30%. The object of the game would then be to get a job and really put out and fight for promotion so's to break through the high tax bracket.
   'Wot?' I hear you say, 'Who wants to work hard just to pay more tax?' Answer? Nobody, and therein lies the rub of this cunning plan. A total reverse of the system, see? Because it'll be the low paid wot pay 30% tax!! Study, work hard and fight for advancement to get that rise and get to keep more of your money as your income increases and you break into the 15% tax bracket.
   There you have it; now that's what I call rewarding effort with an incentive to achieve and keep on achieving so you don't risk getting bumped back to the 30% zone.
Kids studying like fury to get all the knowledge and good sustificates, I say again, good sustificates, they can to give themselves the best chance out there in wonderland and minimise their time paying 30% Tax.
   Workers giving it their all to win promotion or working all the overtime there is to break into the 15% tax bracket thus getting to keep more of their money to spend on stuff. Stuff that needs to be built or made, creating more openings and overtime for other people building and making stuff, creating more people in the 15% bracket giving them more money to spend on stuff, creating ever more demand, creating ever more openings and overtime for stuff builders and makers. Win, win, win out here in the world while our educational standards reach dizzying heights of excellence. And the dizzying amount ‘spent’ on unemployment benefits reduces to mere buttons.
    Told you it was a tad childish.
Hay, let’s call it the Laughable Curve...
