    Thanks count doesn't mean a thing.
    Look at Devon, 100k thanks, about half of them given by himself.

    He'll go blind, all that thanking himself. It's so much nicer when someone else thanks you.

    The tax system is unfair, people who earn more pay in more and take less.

    If everyone took out less than they put in, the tax system would be a bit pointless.
  • In the news this morning, Mr Dyson opening a r&d site in Wiltshire providing 1000s of jobs on top of all the jobs he has already created. I am sure they won't be low paying!

    What a horrible man, he should be taxed at 50%

    He just ssaid he has paid £330m in tax in th! three years and waned to keep manufacturing in Wiltshire but they weren't allowed which would have created more jobs and tax revenue in the UK.

    Again he must be such a terrible person earning all that money and he should be punished by huge taxes!!!

    Selective quoting out of context is very useful to make useless statements. Maybe you should read the whole post....

    It's how Australia worked for a number of years until Kevin Rudd (Labor predictably) got in. As a result the national debt was paid off entirely and a fund called the 'Future Fund' set up to pay future pension and healthcare costs.

    Then Rudd went on a huge spending spree and we're back to a deficit again. Oh well. Vote Left get debt.

    TWH has over 5,000 "thanks" so hardly a troll ...........

    To be fair, I think that the 5,000 thanks are more an indication that they are simply very good at being a troll.
