题目: Re: The analogy to the beer tax example is that someone on the lowest wage would not be affected by a tax reduction, as they are not being taxed anyway!

(V):
1. Yes we all pay tax, the wealthy more than the less well off. So we agree on this point, but I don't think this invalidates the prof's point, rather that you missed the point.

2. Business certainly lives up to its side of the bargain, it is called salary and corporation tax. Government, they have no use as far as I am concerned and is simply a pointless and very expensive cost for little value.

3. Your 'real events' are prattle and trifling.
As to Next, clearly you don't understand the significance.

SL-Mark: Maybe in such a situation that we all pay tax there is NO point. Especially considering certain wealthy people avoid paying tax using off shore accounts.

"2. Business certainly lives up to its side of the bargain, it is called salary and corporation tax.

Like Kraft?

"Government, they have no use as far as I am concerned and is simply a pointless and very expensive cost for little value."

So, how would you replace democracy and as such overthrow the result of a civil war we had a way back?

"3. Your 'real events' are prattle and trifling.

That's not an explanation just "this is my stance" dribble.. explain yourself!!

(V): You really believe you live in a democracy? Funniest thing I have heard all day

The point of capital flight is way above your head otherwise you would not have answered with some trifling prattle about business rates. You clearly have no understanding of the importance of FDI and the efforts of the nation in competing for this!

SL-Mark: No.. we live in a kinda democracy.. We have the right to protest, march and demonstrate which some countries don't allow. They also help keep big business from ripping off regular folk. More so if they stopped being wimpy under certain governments.

Please.. explain yourself about capital flight, as all I hear is prattle.

As to foreign investment.. I've seen how much we fight for it. Something the government has given subsidies and much help in encouraging. I've also seen trade embargo's, price fixing and other activities it seems are part and parcel of the mixed economy we live in.

... what is your point???

(V): A few minutes ago we lived in a democracy. Now we live in a "kinda democracy."
Not really a democracy then!

Fortunately you don't live in Scotland and face lunacy such as this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/01/25/ignorance_of_scottish_pr0n_law_no_defence/

As to capital flight, the tax system explained in beer is a perfect example of this. Surprising you did not follow that!

SL-Mark: Not really, businesses and rich folk keep bribing and blackmailing MP's for it to be a true democracy.. but most know that so why spend 1000 words saying it.

Again.. on the beer... But seeing as that is not the only tax.... zzzzzz

Are you above explanation?
