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 don’t think anyone on 150k is considering giving it up to claim benefits and start shop lifting.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!

That show made me incredibly sad. There is a sizeable chunk of society who do not give a shit about anyone else, and most of them are kids. They don't wanna work for anything, they just feel they can take whatever they want and its fine. They live off the state and are happy to cheat the tax payer.
zero sense of community and zero work ethic, and we're not talking about a few people here - this is a big chunk of the country.Why would they want to work, most of what people earn is taken from them.Don't be silly.
"most" of what you earn isn't taken from you at all.
and not working or shoplifting just makes the situation worse for everyone.

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.'

Yes they do, every time, at least the one's that aren't extremists posing as imans. You haven't heard them because the MSM news you have no love for don't bother reporting it (just believe the opposite of what they say remember? Your words not mine)Very funny reply. would read again.
I'm a fucking newshound and I don't think I've seen any imam unequivocally denounce any terrorist act ever.Great "newshound" you are
