I was thinking more of all those companies that trade and provide jobs in this country - Its a global market now, nothing like back in the 70's - Will those international companies hand over extra taxes without any consequences??
Of course not... there will be huge job losses, even companies upping sticks and finding more corporate friendly countries to carry out their business in.
Of course, Jeremy's massively inflated state will soak up the unemployed and with the Unions in his ear telling him what over-inflated rates of pay to give the lucky ones who get 'work', inflation will soon be on a not-so-steady rise.
Throw in the inevitable industrial action when Jeremy tries to tell the Unions that we are broke and, hey presto, you are right, we are back in the 70's, only not the 70's you remember concerning the filthy rich, but the 70's which was generally sh!te for all concerned.
So when you refered to "the rich" in the context of raising taxes to the higher earners you weren't talking of the usuall guff that puffs out from bankers and the like every time that a hike in income tax is mooted but have switched tack to Corporation Tax now ?
I haven't noticed the likes of Starbucks pulling up sticks in the UK after they were shamed publicly into "having another look" at their tax avoidance schemes in the UK last year, have you ?
As for the rest of your post - congratulations, you're starting to sound like Tony Blair.
