Maybe you could get a 6 year old to explain how to calculate income tax & NI as well while you’re there as you seem incapable.

not one person ever decided against being ambitious because of the top rate of income tax. 

If you work hard you often do get somewhere, but a large chunk of society don’t fancy working hard.
“But a large chunk of society don’t fancy working hard” LOL!

I find You can always tell the mooch from the tax payer when it comes to discussing taxation.
Yeh you can. 

The tax payer despises people who get handouts and do nothing. The mooch moans about tax rates and uses them as an excuse not to work.

I pay the top end tax rate in this country, how about you?
I pay top end too. Which is why I’m a Republican.

You sure you pay top end? I think you’re lying again.

Never said they would.

allow me to explain it to you like I’m talking to a 6 year old.

My point is the kids today see no opportunity to better themselves. All they see is handouts, no incentives to work, what’s the point? Work your ass off to get nowhere.

Heavy taxation kills ambition and the entrepreneurial spirit.

Hope that helps!

You make 150k per year you are paying 45% income tax and 2% N I contributions. So 47%, So you clear 79,500 LOL.
Fuck that!
Not quite over 50% but pretty close. Then if you want to buy a home because you work hard and are considered successful only to get hit with Property tax. Good eh!

I see you don't know what unequivocable means.

'The tragedy of 7 July 2005 demands that all of us, both in public life and in civil and religious society, confront together the problems of Islamophobia, racism, unemployment, economic deprivation and social exclusion – factors that may be alienating some of our children and driving them towards the path of anger and desperation.'
Nice quote mining as ever surface, your ability to avoid admitting you may have been ignorant on certain things and refuse to concede you may not be as 100% informed as you thought  is impressive. Is the below unequivocal enough for you? 

“We, as Muslim Imams and religious leaders, condemn the recent terror attacks in Manchester and London in the strongest terms possible. Coming from a range of backgrounds, and from across the UK; feeling the pain the rest of the nation feels, we have come together to express our shock and utter disgust at these cold-blooded murders.We are deeply hurt that a spate of terror attacks have been committed in our country once more by murderers who seek to gain religious legitimacy for their actions. We seek to clarify that their reprehensible actions have neither legitimacy nor our sympathy.

what's your point exactly? Are you  conceding imans have denounced violence and terrorism but they don't mean it? and are you saying that's true for all of them? bit of a walkback from no iman has ever denounced violence
