Only some workers AOG. But this new tax regime is designed to make already wealthy people, and giant corporations more wealthy, not your average Joe.

I will believe it when I see it in their wage packets!
AT&T have said it will be paid once it is signed into law!

Wealth generates wealth - and jobs.

[dannyk13]

Not if the wealth is pocketed by the rich.

Quite Namoi.

//Not if the wealth is pocketed by the rich. //

That tends not to be the case, most reinvest it and that produces more wealth and jobs.

[naomi24]

If everyone pays less tax all are better off, but crippling businesses with high taxes doesn't encourage investment, and investment is what is needed for growth - because growth creates jobs and jobs create wealth.

Oh how some envy the wealthy, I wonder where they would be without the wealthy?

[Islay]

Who envies the wealthy?

[Old_Geezer]

Wealth is created by the workers. Managment etc. are facilitators. Bully for those who create opportunities but they're rewarded well enough already.

[Old_Geezer]

The envy excuse is regularly trotted out, never with evidence.

AOG, I do not and never have envied 'the rich'. I have always been q

[dannyk13]

Don't know what happened there so I will repeat.I do not and never have envied 'the rich'. I have always been satisfied with my lot in life.As usual you put your own interpretation on others posts.

[Khandro]

Being rich is always the better of the two - it even makes being unhappy more comfortable.

AOG

What make you think it follows that people who have a different opinion to yours on a particular subject ( e.g. this one ) hold those views because of envy ?

[naomi24]

OG, //Bully for those who create opportunities but they're rewarded well enough already.//

And so they should be. They’re the people who take the risks, work the hours, put everything they have into building their businesses – and they provide the jobs. They don’t clock on at 9 and off at 5 and take a day off because they’ve got a sniffle.
