do you know how many min wage jobs it would take to replace the taxes paid by a millionaire?

[xerxes]

They say that every goddamn time. Which shows just how much that they need to be reined in.

[raydan]

Zero fucks I give to the UK super-rich.

[BartSimpson]

We can use them in the USA! Come on over folks and don't forget to bring your bank accounts!!!

The more I hear about Corbyn the more I see he plans to socialize a huge chunk of the UK economy. He wants to nationalize the railroads, the energy sector, the utilities, the media, the banking sector, the internet, and then he wants to give away billions on free college educations, more free healthcare, he wants a four day and 32 hour workweek (with 40 hour pay and full benefits), free childcare, and expanded subsidies for council housing.

So yeah if I was wealthy I'd get the fuck out of the UK as well because the first thing this guy is going to do is raid everyone's cash assets to pay for socialization.

Sounds good. Too bad the USA is too chickenshit to try any of that.

The only problem with that is if Bolshevik Bernie get elected they (and us) will be rooked.

What sort of dodgy yob can leave a country ‘within minutes’? Many of them are thieves and worse from Russia and other blighted places. Britain would be better off without them.

All of which is against EU rules, funny enough. He would have to
leave the EU before doing any of that.

Raid the pension funds first, actually.
Then order the BofE to print up a couple billion trillion.
Should do wonders for the pound.



No one should be worried, Labour will not win this election.
They are running a big risk the table will be run on them.

Yeah yeah sure just like all the Hollywood celebrities who swear they’ll move to Canada if a Republican is elected. Moving to a new country is a big deal and the businesses and personal contacts these people have in England aren’t easily relocated or replaced in another country. Ironically a hard Brexit would make it much harder for these people to simply relocate to the continent if they’re sincere in wanting to move elsewhere in Europe so they better hope UK stays in the EU.

Most of the oligarchs are citizens of Malta anyway, for tax purposes.

One. Two, maybe.

[stratos]

Only problem with this "Free" stuff is that it's not free.
