Tax avoidance - The facts please

I keep hearing news stories about tax avoidance but I never hear the hard facts. Those missing facts are what would he impact be if we persuaded these companies to be fairer.

If these companies, who employ thousands across the UK, paid full taxes what would this do to their profitability? If the tax impacts their profitability how many jobs will they have to cut to maintain the right level of profits to ensure they keep open? If they do cut jobs and those people end up on the dole just what is the difference between tax gained and benefits paid out?

Don't get me wrong I expect all to pay fair tax but I don't have the facts to decide when that works in our favour or not. Facts please you news readers and journalists.

PeopleWonderWhyIHateKidsOfToday

I am sitting working, and watching (in the background), a programme on Channel 4 called 999 What's your emergency. Holyfuckingcrap if those were my kids (thankfuckwewontbehavingany) I would put them up for adoption or stick 'em in a sack with rocks and chuck them in a very deep lake or simply terminate them on the spot.

What happened to the respect for the police by youngsters, come to that what happened to the respect for the police full stop?

I really hate how this world is turning out and how kids are allowed, by their parents, to stand up to authority and seemingly get away with it. The trouble is kids are bigger, brasher and getting away with what they want and the trouble makers force the nice ones to have to sand up and fight.

Innocents in children has been lost, childhood has been skipped. Unfortunately intelligence in a lot of these kids has become what it has because we have simply given in to them, not because we have to, not because we want to, but because we are forced to through peer pressure and the need for them not to be excluded.

All I can say is "I hope we wake up and smell the coffee one day" and make kids realise that you have to grow up slowly.

On top of that we need to make kids realise that a sentence in prison is a sentence that sticks, you do the crime you do the time. Right now, and for some time now, we have told kids do the crime and be out in a short time to do it again, or do the crime and live a life of cable TV, sport, warm bed and regular meals. Oh yes and rent free........

I am not saying this is all kids, I know some great parents, I just think that we as a global society need to teach the kids the good stuff, not the bad, we need to show them the error of their ways and hope that parents also want a better life for their kids. Just because you are hard up, just because you are out of work,or just because you can't give your kids a smart phone should not lead them to a bad life - we just need to care about improving them and showing them a better way.
