Saving do fund investments. Banks led the money out!! Are you a real person?

90% of the work is done by the top 10%. You tax the most productive everyone suffers!! Talk about private business and growth!! Thats how you grow an economy!!

@allenjenkins-xd5uiYeah. It's a balance!

@fburton8 Only a very small proportion of people actually do any work. They contribute the most taxes and economic activity. This is not opinion, this is fact. You tax them to heavily they stop working and everyone suffers!!

 @adenwellsmith6908 My opinion is utilise trade unions and reduce the cost of living. Flood the market with cheap energy and housing. Trade unions will pull wages up!

@fburton8 You need successful private business to pay the taxes for welfare. You need a guy willing to work 80 hours a week to ensure we have jobs and taxes!! In 80s and 90s we boomed, it all came from a successful enterprising private sector!!

 @johnwright9372 Exactly!! We are taxing the high earners to much and they can't be bothered working.

 @johnwright9372 You be productive and run a tradesman type business. If a trades person works 60 hours a week and 45% of his wages are given to someone else, how is that fair?

 @johnwright9372 You can be productive and be a trades person. But if he is working 60 hours a week and 45% of his income is being given to someone else. Is that fair?

 @johnwright9372 You can be productive and be a trades person.

 @fburton8 Its called the Pareto principle!! It's true in every household, community, business and even widder economy!!

 @fburton8 I did make a mistake. It 80/20. So the top 20% do 80% of the work. Its the Pareto principle. It's true in your home, community, workplace and widder economy!!

 @johnwright9372 You can be a tradesman and still be productive.

@fburton8 Productivity doesn't come from working blindly. It comes from the value of your skills combined with working hard. If what you are doing isn't very valuable and you are easily replaceable then your not going to be paid very much no matter how hard you work.

 @fburton8 But in a properly functioning private company. Naturally the hardest workers will be retained and rewarded and the laziest will be let go. And that's exactly what happens.

@fburton8 I agree. Nothing is perfect. BUT within the field of Nurses and carers their will be a very small number that produce the majority of the results. And if you have these types of people (In what ever field) They should be rewarded. Not taxed!!

 @fburton8 ...its not a claim. Its a mathematical principle.

 @WarrenPeaceOG I know. Some times it goes very badly wrong. Then what is the answer? If one exists.
