Thema: Re: who provide for the other 60% (public sector)

(V): The 60% (actually I think it is nearer 65%) includes all those who are funded from the public purse. So yes, it includes many other services, all of whom consume wealth.

Oh dear, you are trying to find some fault, which is irrelevant to the point, just for some cheap point scoring. Let me spell it out, as I guess you missed that class in primary school.
40% of the UK working population is not 40% of the total population.
Indeed the total working population is about 62% of the total population, which leaves 38% for the rest.

No, you can only include tax from the private sector in the determination. Tax generated from the public sector is simply money being recycled back to government, its original source being the private sector. In your example of a company providing artificial joints, only tax on export revenues can be considered as wealth creation.
