30 December, 2006 at 11:12 am #254519well im at the bottom on the wages chart… as a Molly Maid i am when working… I work my fingers to a bone, in untidy, dirty smelly hooses which most of my clients are of the hospital backgrounds, lawyers, judges, business men and woman, and the delightful widowers whom don’t need cleaners they want a firendly face and company and would leave a bar or two off the electric fire to scrimp for their monthly visit from MM…. whom some still are forced to pay taxes on their pensions because it takes them over a threshold…. a meer pitance may I add…
while the company directors are fleecing their next tax-free bonus’s… footballers raking in thousands a week paying a standard tax, most of the Brits out living in tax-free havens and still reaping the beneifts, cold weather payments getting sent abroad to penisors whom don’t need it.. there are soo many faults and unfairness in life hense why its called life eh. Then we have Paisley Councieller retiring 10 of them giving a golden handshake and £20,000.00 bonus…. for serives to the council, and guess who takes over their jobs…. their WIVES…!!! something fishy eh…!!
Im all for different tax thresholds… as at times I wonder why I work when im worst off than I would if I didnt work…

To give the Nurses a reasonably good pay packet and to give our armed forces the tools they need to do the job…. as well as schools, prisons….. and so on and so forth !!!

But isnt that unfair to those 100k earners who are more clever? Its like saying, because your cleverer than the others, you have to be punished.
We dont even tax lottery winners, but you wana tax more, those GREAT people who create jobs for those who havn’t the ability to create wealth in society, bizare.
High earners should be concratulated for the way in which they create wealth for OUR societies to grow.
31 December, 2006 at 11:45 pm #254524I don’t think it’s necessarily about people being more clever. You can be clever and only earn £10,000 a year. Some people don’t get the opportunity to go into jobs earning a lot of money for different reasons.
Regardless of how much you earn everybody is contributing to society in their own way. People like nurses have extensive traing to go through but only earn a small wage but they are making a big difference to peoples lives.
Also, if you are earning £100,000 a year, yes you do pay higher taxes but you can also have a pretty nice lifestyle. But at the end of the day we still have mortgages, cars, bills etc. to pay for and it’s a little more difficult for people to make ends meet on a smaller wage.1 January, 2007 at 2:46 am #254525Lets face facts here; we have all had opportunely to be better educated or to take some form of training in our school/college years.
But some of us made a few bad life choices.
There no point in moaning about being low paid; everyone does it, no feels valued in his or her job or career.
So if your making more than 30k per year, single and no kids; employ an accountant, they will cut your tax bill down.
But has far a fair tax system goes, can we ever have such a thing?
Has long has our governments and local councils waste money on silly projects for the few, the rest of us will have to foot the bill.
If we all had a statement of where our taxies where being spent each year, we would all ask a lot more questions about tax.
Most of us in the south of England are already paying a 20% council tax levy to improve area in the poor parts of the UK, its not very fair to make people with low paid jobs and high housing costs to do it, but they do.
Do you think its fair to make single people pay should more taxies so people with children have more money?
Do you think its ok for some employers to pay “below living cost “wages and expect the tax pays to help out with welfare benefits?
That’s what we have been doing for the last 20 years.
What about the current wars? Who do you think is paying for that?
The people who are making more than 50k a year are a small group, less than 10% of our work force.
The different is, we can afford to pay for good advice, so pay less tax.
