 @PragmaticAntithesis if it doesn't tax the rich, then it wasn't really a tax the rich policy!

@RussellTurner pretty sure it affects everyone. Tax policy is everyone's business for starters!

 @RussellTurner are you trying to say the government doesn't change anything?

@dtz1000 if you hope to retire in the future, then we need immigration. Without immigration there won't be enough workers to keep the country working

 @warrenchu5752 only if we vote for parties that put their big donors first. We need to vote for parties that have grassroots support instead

 @_melts I am in that 50k+ group, and I am happy for you to tax me more if you're fair, and also tax people a lot more if they have a lot more 🙂

@quillo2747 we need to provide for people starting their retirement If we don't, we can all look forward to having to work til we die, and I don't like the sound of that!

 @maximemeis2867 design and engineering are making more than the child labourers, but they aren't the billionaires either

@warrenchu5752 we're not taking on "unlimited" numbers. We're taking on the right amount to cover the difference between the large amount of people retiring, and the smaller group of people growing up and starting work

@quillo2747 warehouses, deliveries and cleaning still needs to be done if the wider economy is to be successful. You might not get rich doing those jobs, but the country suffers if they're not done

 @warrenchu5752 surely that depends on the tax policy?

Go and vote! Even spoiling your vote has value - it shows you're willing to vote, and that parties should try and win your vote Young people get ignored because politicians think they can get away with it. Turn up this time, and they won't ignore you next time!

 @warrenchu5752 maybe the people vote for are incompetent Let's not vote for the people you vote for!

@hariowen3840 the Greens and the Lib Dems have strong internal democracies, and depend more on their grassroots activists than on big donors It shows in their manifestos 🙂

 @Ikaros23 and we can observe it didn't trickle down through small government laissez-faire policy, did it!
