Google Tax

No Gravatar

Internet search giant Google has not paid any tax on its 1.6 billion pound advertising revenues in Britain last year, a media report says.

If Google is legally complying with UK tax laws, then Google are not at fault. The tax laws themselves are, if not enough revenue is being raised.

No one, individual or business, voluntarily pays more tax than they are legally obliged to.

Those wishing to further contribute to the public good usually give to charity, (which often brings further tax benefits) not to Government coffers.

If the UK Government wants to have more money at its disposal, how about getting rid of some of its own wasteful bureaucracy and red tape, and stop wasting so much money in Europe, squandering it on the EU monolith.

Healthcare In The USA

Every developed country in the world sees healthcare as a moral obligation, except the USA.
Every developed country in the world has some form of universal healthcare, except the USA.
Every developed country in the world has better healthcare provision than the USA.
Seriously, there are some problems with every system but there’s no one out there saying “Let’s adopt the system they have in the USA”.

Two-Faced Wing Nuts

It struck me as so contradictory. The wing nuts that rant on and on about the increasing national debt, are not only glad to spend more public money on war, while denying it to the sick, but are hypocritical about the whole legacy aspect too

They complain that we’re handing this huge debt down to our children and grandchildren, while at the same time they toss out as a lie that we might be polluting the world and possibly causing climate change beyond repair, that our children and grandchildren will have to live with, deal with and possibly suffer with.
