logical step for Labour is to reverse Brexit

[carmanmemoranda]

You don’t find it rather daft to set a rule that people should be able to live on what they earn without having first worked out what that is?

Why don't you just say whether you think people should be able to live on an earned wage or not.

Forcing people to exist and not live doesn't help the economy. Albeit it helps a few get richer.

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

And that is the point. many are only able to do basic low level jobs, but it's still a job that needs doing, or it wouldn't exist. Why can't they live on that? Nobody is asking for them to live the life of a millionaire playboy

If you do a basic low level job then you live a basic low level lifestyle.

The world in which everyone is rich doesn't exist outside of lefty happy-clappy idealistic dreams.

There's only so much stuff. If more people get more money then the price of everything goes up, i.e. you get inflation - basic GCSE level economics and exactly what's been happening since the minimum wage has been rising rapidly over the last few years.

 

[Ivor Windybottom]

Most people work out at about the age of 8 that the world isn't "fair" and that everyone isn't entitled to everything they want.

The people who never work this out end up voting labour and being disappointed.

Yes. Butn the wage should be enough to live on. Or do you disagree?

The world in which everyone is rich doesn't exist outside of lefty happy-clappy idealistic dreams.

Nobody is expecting a low paid job to fund a playboy lifestyle. Thats just right wing conflation.

There's only so much stuff. If more people get more money then the price of everything goes up, i.e. you get inflation - basic GCSE level economics and exactly what's been happening since the minimum wage has been rising rapidly over the last few years.

For the economy to work well, items need to be sold. So people need to buy them. To do that, they need..........

U.K. has poor living standards compared to many other Western economies

And U.K. has higher wealth inequality compared to many other Western economies.

If you can’t say how much that is, then it’s a nonsense argument.

Absolute rubbish

The amount isn't important. It will change tomorrow, and next year and the year after.

But why don't you think a worker should be able to live on an earned wage? Why should any job not be worth doing ? If any company needs a job doing then the wage should be fair

Not the same as the boss, not the middle management. But enough to live on

The concept is simple. And fair.

But some want people to be very poorly paid and need benefits even though they work. Why?

And those same people complain about the tax bill for the benefits.

None of the items mentioned were available to me at the time,apart from maybe mc donalds and KFC but dont remember eating them, when I sold my house I lost £7k

I notice you don't want to say what your first house cost, or when you bought it.

 

[Koolpc]

My first house cost £7.99. It had one bedroom, one living room. All in the same room!.....no front door either!!!!

 

[noseall]

how are you getting on proving I am an extreme brexer

Difficult given that you are a proven and repeated liar.

Aveatry please could you say whether it was a Conservative or a Labour govt in power Jan 1st 2024

 

[Notch7]

How would you address it

I would start by accepting that wealth inequality has grown in that period and that it’s a problem.

I would not be a tozzer like Ivor or Motorgrifting and keep using logical fallacies.


If you want to know the solution, they involve taxing assets same as wages also taxing land, although Imsuspect you would not be aware of Land Value Tax

If you cannot say how much it is, how can anyone commit to pay it?

Supply and demand. Just like wages.
