    Oh good lord, this is so tiresome.

    I suppose all those paying 18% capital gains tax, are now denying what is "rightfully" the countries, as capital gains was reduced from 40% to 18%.
    How does that relate to reducing corporate taxes and allowing big companies to avoid paying any at all?

    It doesn't.

    What happened, is you got in a flap, and moved all the goalposts to suit your own agenda again.

    Someone suggested reducing taxes, and allowing business to grow that way.

    You instantly, in your wisdom, changed that, and suggested that companies would therefore be witholding funds which are rightfully the countries.

    That's my point. You keep changing the basis of the discussion and using pedantry to try and win your little labour argument. You are doing it on the Ed Balls thread with me, suggesting I should join in an Ed Balls thread, and attack Cameron and Clegg, otherwise I'm tory through and through. The thread is about Ed Balls specifically. Notthing to do with Cameron or clegg!

    Someone suggests removing some of the silly legistaltion, and you instantly change that to "are you mad, NO legislation....shall we let people just die and let companies screw people over".

    You simply cannot discuss reasonably with you. And for that reason, I say good day to you sir.

    Again you keep raising Clegg, I have not mentioned Clegg, but you carry on with your little rant if it pleases you. You asked how companies keep money from the taxpayer that is rightfully theirs, I provided an example, but you chose to ignore it, because it doesn't fit with your agenda. That's okay, I understand that, you are entitled to your opinion (no matter how misguided it is), but don't bleat on about me having one.

    You do not seem to like giving a straight answer to any questions lately. How does a business make a deduction for the time involved without reducing profits?

    To my knowledge you have not answered a single question asked, just posted totally wrong information.

    Yes that's exactly how I feel. Any chance of an answer to the question you were asked?
    Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there.

    Seriously, if you are not bright enough to read a thread, I am not going to help you.

    It appears he has no answers. Just rather silly retorts.
