@NotUnymous "didn't do enough to prevent the majority from voting Tory"... What are you suggesting? Physically restraining voters who don't agree with us? That's an absolutely shite response, not even a counter, to someone pointing out the simple fact, not an argument, that the overwhelming majority of people DIDN'T vote Tory. You might want to reevaluate your poorly-considered stance.

@earlysda Because lower taxes means less tax revenue. Means less funding for essential public services. Health and social care, roads and public transit, emergency services... these things all get cut. The only motivation for these tax cuts is to enrich the already very wealthy. Because the current government incumbents will get kickbacks when they leave office.

So you're happy with a society where the ultra rich can effectively hold us hostage with the threat of taking away jobs? That doesn't seem like a broken system to you?

@graemecreegan6749 No, the tax system is set up to favour the already wealthy. Trying to start a business at this time, when you don't have a large amount of capital to build from, is a recipe for disaster.

@TheIndigoSystem Why? If nothing else, legalisation would open up a good source of taxable revenue. Whereas strictly monitoring it's medical use would be expensive, all that monitoring begets a whole load of red tape, you see where that one goes. Simple legalisation would destroy the criminal black market trade in weed without any need for expensive police crackdowns. Legalisation is good sense all around.

@earlysda How have you come to that conclusion based on what I said?

@earlysda Then I'm just writing you off as a waste of time, since pointing out the importance of taxes is in no way saying "let's make everyone poor". Weak effort on your part.

@MrMrutube1987 Yeah, ignore the haters with their logical and reasoned arguments. Blind ignorance, that's the way foward! The irony of your statement is painful, Chris. Stop ignoring people, you desperately need to start learning.
