UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer resigns after 716 days in office. Unable to surmount an ever growing list of controversies, scandals, ministerial resignations, and the lowest ever recorded approval rating for a prime minister, he has at the urging of his party agreed to step down and set out a timetable for a leadership contest of the Labour party, despite previous claims he would fight any contest.

I keep seeing rightards wondering about Andy Basedham.
Well, put it this way, Farage & Lowe are swivel-eyed loons, and superior Labour voters will destroy subhuman rightards and their SJW snowflake shills & their inferior ideology with Prime Minister Andy Basedham.
And he will have authority over that which scans, monitors & intercepts the entire telecommunications network - including the Dark Web, with their encryption-cracking supercomputers - GCHQ.

They seem to a think single seat in parliment that was only up for vote because the incumbent resigned in literally that party's most loyal stronghold with a three way split on the vote is a win.

You are confusing tax rates and tax revenue
The government controls the tax rates, not the amount of money coming in.
https://www.investors.com/politics/columnists/thomas-sowell-tax-lies-for-the-gullible/
Each annual "Economic Report of the President" has the history of federal revenues and expenditures, going back for decades. And that is just one of the places where you can get this data. The truth is readily available, if you want it. But, if you are satisfied with political rhetoric, so be it.

Before we turn to the question of "the rich," let's first understand the implications of higher income tax revenues after income tax rates were cut during the Reagan administration.

That should have put an end to the talk about how lower tax rates reduce government revenues and therefore tax cuts need to be "paid for" or else there will be rising deficits. There were in fact rising deficits in the 1980s, but that was due to spending that outran even the rising tax revenues.

Congress does the spending, and there is no amount of money that Congress cannot outspend.

As for "the rich," higher-income taxpayers paid more — repeat, more tax revenues into the federal treasury under the lower tax rates than they had under the previous higher tax rates.

That happened not only during the Reagan administration, but also during the Coolidge administration and the Kennedy administration before Reagan, and under the G.W. Bush administration after Reagan. All these administrations cut tax rates and received higher tax revenues than before.

More than that, "the rich" not only paid higher total tax revenues after the so-called "tax cuts for the rich," they also paid a higher percentage of all tax revenues afterwards

....so do they lube you up before raping you, or do you just enjoy rich faggots raping you unlubed?

Is the point of taxes on billionaires punishing billionaires or raising money for programs like education? Because if lower the tax rate rich people pay, and they pay more in taxes, that would provide more money for those social programs.
If the point is to punish rich people, the more you charge the less you will receive and these social programs will get less funding.

>>1520811
>If you lower taxes on rich people, they’ll pay more

That's an inversion of reality
https://www.politico.com/story/2017/03/trump-taxes-rachel-maddow-236066
We know that Trump paid $38 million in taxes on $150 million in income. This was revealed on Rachel Maddows show
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/01/29/irs-charles-littlejohn-tax-prison-trump-00138367
We know the IRS agent who leaked Trumps tax returns. His name is Charles Small Cock, I mean Little John. He was sentenced to 5 years in jail.
We don't have any tax returns from Donald Trump which show he paid 0 dollars in taxes for that year.

The New York Times was not as transparent as Rachel Maddow. They seemed to be talking out both sides of their mouth, saying Trump wasn't paying taxes because of his financial assets depricating in value, and how he wasn't paying taxes on his record profits. Which one is it?

All that the government can do in reality is change the tax rate. How much tax revenue that will produce depends on how people react. There have been some times when higher tax rates have produced lower tax revenues, and some other times when lower tax rate have produced higher tax revenues.

In the 1920s, for example, the tax rate on the highest incomes was reduced from 73 percent to 24 percent– and the income tax revenue rose substantially — especially tax revenues received from people in the highest income brackets.

In terms of words on paper, the official tax rate was cut from 73 percent to 24 percent. But in terms of events in the real world, the tax rate actually paid — on staggering sums of money previously hidden in tax shelters — rose from zero percent to 24 percent. This produced huge increases in tax revenues received from high-income people, both absolutely and as a percentage of all income taxes collected. That is because 24 percent of something is larger than 73% of nothing.

But none of these facts has made the slightest difference to those who continue to call tax rate reductions “tax cuts for the rich,” even when high-income people end up paying more tax revenue than before. The very possibility that tax rates and tax revenues can move in opposite directions has seldom been mentioned in the media — a crucial error of omission.
>>
>>1520820
Or, alternatively, we just kill rich people and take their money if they refuse to pay taxes.
>>
>>1520820
Tax avoidance is a legislative problem, not an argument for lower taxes. Go swill some more billionaire cum.

You're right they CAN increase total revenue.

You're WRONG to assert from that they generally pay for themselves, they don't and trying to force that based on one example (where there were plenty of other economic factors influencing tax revenue you're conveniently ignoring) makes you a disingenuous snake.
>>
>>1520821
Can you think of 1 time in history this worked long term?
Haiti?
Cuba?
>>
>>1520822
Okay think about it this way. If you are a surgeon who is in the top tax bracket. You're halfway through the year and you already hit the cap. You live in California so the top marginal rate is over 50%. You get $10,000 per surgery. At the start of the year you get to keep 100% of the money, but the more money you earn the less you keep because that is how progressive taxation works (every dollar you make above $50,000 gets charged at a higher rate, every dollar above $100,000 at a higher rate still and so on). In that case a doctor might spend more time at the golf course and less time in the surgery room because he doesn't want to do the same amount of work for half the pay. This doctor could make a million dollars and pay half a million in taxes.
If the state he was living in then reduced the tax burden so the top marginal rate was 33% instead of 50%, the doctor gets motivated he gets to keep 2/3rds of the money instead of 1/2 so he does double the surgeries. Earns 2 million dollars. Pays 660k in taxes.
>>
apparently esl shill has been listening to reagan broadcasts
>>
>>1520825
Okay, but think about it this way.
Some retard decides to steal 1.8 billion dollars from taxpayers
You kill them and give the 1.8 billion back to the government
Thats actually making 3.6 billion, the 1.8 you didn't lose + the 1.8 billion you kept, on top of the satisfaction of killing a retard wanting to steal 1.8 billion from the taxpayers.
>>
>>1520825
So if the tax rate drops to 33% and he doubles the amount of surgeries he does, we make more money in taxes, because we make 660k, not 500k? Wow, I totally didn't understand that already, gee thanks for explaining.

Cool, how much do we make if he only increases his workload 10%? we go from half a million to 363k. So we lose 137,000 dollars?

And that's why you're a disingenuous dipshit, because you're only telling one side of the argument. The Laffer curve, the idea you're talking about, says taxes can be so high reducing them increases revenue. The debate is where that point is, but just arguing that tax cuts automatically increase revenue is retarded.
>>
>>1520817
There is no way you actually belive this bullshit.

>>1520750
> Taxing the rich
The rich can afford to leave the UK to avoid being taxed, and are doing so in droves, reducing the UKGOV tax income.

The reason the current UK population is shrinking is because so many brits are leaving they are outstripping the arrivals by rubber boat.

labour policies are destroying the hospitality industry, pubs and restaurants can no longer afford to employ staff, and the cost-of-living increases mean no-one has the money to go out.

Investors are avoiding the UK and investing in businesses elsewhere.
