don't you always find that's it's the more caring professions (ie, teachers, nurses, etc) that always get hammered by govts? in the nicest sort of emotional blackmail way of course
Good point that Doug. Seems they always hammer the soft targets. Daren't hurt the wealthy elite and the really poor don't have anything anyway. Isn't this kind of like why the Greeks are rioting? The working/middle classes are the ones having to bear the pain there.don't you always find that's it's the more caring professions (ie, teachers, nurses, etc) that always get hammered by govts? in the nicest sort of emotional blackmail way of course

mp's aren't on a substantial sum tho' Liz, yet they never seem to be hit by scything cuts in pensions etc,,,,case of "old school tie" at times methinks.surely these people are paying 50% tax and huge amounts of national insurance though? they don't pay the same tax and NI as the working and middle classes.

Nope they (generally) pay far less income tax as a proportion than middle and low earners. I have used the services of a tax specialist who boasts that his top clients can quite legally pay far less tax than their cleaners. As I say, proportionally it's far far less.
If I were wealthy I would pay to avoid tax. Avoidance is quite legal.
I've even accepted that I won't get anything in the form of a state pension. they won't exist in 40 years time.
well if it's legal, then there's nothing any of us can do about it.
personally I've accepted the fact that I will have to work well into my 70's and pay more into my personal pension plans to support my retirement years. I've even accepted that I won't get anything in the form of a state pension. they won't exist in 40 years time.
