Create wealth? If you're not putting most of it back into the system, you're not creating wealth, you're hoarding it.
Parasite.
In America they applaud people who create wealt
Bullshit. We have all seen their labour laws.
Funny that he said that and moved to monaco. Parasite
If he left and sold all his property, then that would've been great, but there's nothing here that says he's sold shit. He's only moved his legal residency to Monaco.
We still need a #WealthTax
But do be mindful that he can only spend 90 days/year in the U.K. I guess the rest he’ll spend on his yacht. Oh no.
“In America they applaud people who create wealth,”
No, we fucking don't. The filthy rich in America applaud people who steal from the poor, just like the world over.
the latest among several
Oh fuck guys there's been SEVERAL of these departures, better lower taxes to bring them back immediately! Jesus god what will we do without "Sir Jim"?! God help us all.
If they don't want to pay higher (fairer) taxes, then it stands to reason that they almost certainly pay as little tax as they can. So what, exactly, will we miss when they leave?
Oh no! Anyway...
It's a win for UK?
Yes
Wasn't paying the right rate of tax to begin with. Fuck them. Fuck the lot of them.
people who create wealth
People who create wealth for themselves and nobody else, in fact they take it away from all others. They deserve no respect, only guillotines.
Only workers create wealth, capitalists steal it.
Unemployed parasitic bum.
in 2019,
A spokesperson for the Reubens said the brothers "were not born in the UK, nor do they reside in the UK"

the more things change etc
"People who create wealth", he means the workers, right?
People with wealth are usually the worst people in the world.
I say good riddance.
Exactly my first thought.
Earlier this year Gary Linekar and over 100 other British millionaires asked prime minister Andy Burnham to increase their wealth tax as they can “afford it”.
Yes the government should increase their wealth tax, no questions about that...
But Millionaires And Co. could also start a fund and plough their wealth into that. They probably have access to top notch accountants that could maximise the value of this fund. They don't need to wait for the government to do it for them. Just do it!
One less mouth to feed
Its geuinely disgusting, seeing the joy on their faces, and then the lined up servants, other human beings, made to stand and dress and act in a certain way, for the whims of the wealthy.
All this means is that I'm one place closer to being Britain's richest person. Nothing else of note.
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
