Sir Stephen Tindall among 83 millionaires wanting to raise taxes on the wealthy
Jul 14 2020
Did anyone notice that Cur Tinsell already pays tax? Probably not.
The Junkhouse founder (where everyone gets some garbage) follows the path of a few other crocodile tear-jerkers. The screw-you (TradeMe) founder comes to mind.
The only reason such people suggest what they do is because:
1) It makes them look good;
2) It will not financially disadvantage them in the slightest.
Loosely speaking, the only reason such people got in to the positions of wealth which they have is because of profound stupidity and malfeasance of moronic politicians and the unfathomable, myopic self-inflicted ignorance of those who voted for the aforesaid.
E.g. Leaving aside the seemingly 'good' that gatesby and microcrapt have done in making computer tech available to the masses, has anyone ever calculated the financial losses incurred as a consequences of the release of their buggy and hack-prone software?
My problem (one of many) is that I'm a lay student of economics. My studies have equipped me to realise that almost all e-con-o-mists are indeed soothsayers, after-the-fact. I.e. People who will tell you why something happened after it happened, disguised as a prediction.
I wonder if Shammy and the other wilfully ignorant will 'weigh in' on this non-story?
Cur Tinsell: you and the rest of your ilk are "full of it." But I don't blame you. No. I blame the cranially devoid (aka woodenheads) for allowing you to do what you've done. In your case: export the jobs of thousands of kiwis to chairman Mao's mates.
Hello? Is there anyone there? Anyone awake?
