"I would abolish all taxes apart from VAT, which would absorb all the current ones. Then nobody would have to pay that tax... until they reached the age of 30. That way simplicity and transparency would exist about what the government asks of us, and a strong work ethic would be instilled in the younger generation, a good habit to last a lifetime. I would also give every child a packet of white chocolate mice "I like the sound of that, but could it be "milk bottles or shimps" instead? | |||

"Take it that's just off the top of your head Wishy? "Well, yeah, but it's a start lol | |||

"i`d get rid of 90% of the population
how would you select the 10% you keep?"ummm i hadnt thought of that part  | |||
"Abolish different rates of Income Tax - everyone pays 30%. I see no reason why those who succeed should pay more than those who can't be arsed." Yeah, because everyone who earns a lot of money works hard and ethically for it. There are no systems of privilege in this country that keep the rich rich and the poor poor.  | |||

Yeah, because everyone who earns a lot of money works hard and ethically for it. There are no systems of privilege in this country that keep the rich rich and the poor poor. "Well said! I don't pay the higher rate of tax but that isn't because I 'can't be arsed' ... it's because I'm paid a crap wage! I actually work ****ing hard! How would I make the world a better place? I'd award myself a few million £££ ... the world would be no better but it'd SEEM a lot better to me  | |||

chancellor monkey would prefer a fez"He's the chancellor now! Funkey can wear his fez and Wishey can borrow Don Estelle's pith helmet...but for the rest of us it's bowlers all the way, mind you the women can have a bowler in any colour or fabric they so wish | |||
And Tulisa would be available at my beck and call, naked, with a rose up her arse anytime I want her.

And pretty insulting to the huge percentage of the population who do work hard but only make an average income. People have different skill levels - either "god given", or because they've had better opportunities in life. Those who are luckier, should give more back. That's what being part of a society is all about. | |||

"Eradicate the culture where success is not celebrated for the long term, rather than the current short term before the bitterness and jealousy of the under achievers rips it to shreds." +1,000,000.. quid. | |||

"Oh, and by taxing everyone the same you're punishing those people who choose to go into jobs - nursing, for example - that are about helping people, not making money. " some go into nursing because they see it as a vocation, others see it as a great career with worldwide opportunities. and it is, | |||

That's what being part of a society is all about. " I grew up on a sink estate where nobody was expected to go onto Uni. From that estate I know at least 10 people I went to school with who are now millionaires. I'm not quite in that bracket but I'm not poor either. I also know of dozens of people who ended up the wrong side of the law and have served time. I sat beside most of them in class at some point through my education. We ALL had the same chances. It is by no means niave to know for certain that hard work DOES reap rewards. Obviously, some people's version of what hard work is differs from others. I'd say those who are successful know what real hard work is and those that aren't haven't got a scooby what hard work entails, they just know that soon someone will pop along and give them everything they want so they don't have to work for it. I cannot stomach whingers and whiners who moan about someone else having something they don't, and you only ever hear poor people advocating mugging the rich to redistribute it to the lazy and the inept. | |||

" It seems quite obvious to me that an even 30% rate of income tax would see high earners paying substantially more than those on low incomes.

"I'd ban religion. All of it. Mandatory retirement would be abolished too, as well as a state pension. You proive for your own retirement and take it when you want to retire. Speed cameras would be abolished in favour of road sensors at the junctions of roads that require speed reduction(school & hospitals basically). These sensors would activate an engine restriction system on every car when it passes the sensor. Foreign aid would be scrapped for ten years until we have our own debts paid off and our own infrastructure repaired. Immigration would be limited to a 1-out-1-in system, but foreign criminals would serve their sentences and then taken directly to an airport and kicked out. I'd also introduce a law that applies to foreigners who think they can break the law that will deport not just them, but their entire family too. They may think twice about committing crime if an irate Uncle or two would be 'having a quiet word' with them. Sadly, we can't kick homegrown perps out, but we can increase their sentence by a factor of x2 for each time they are found guilty of breaking the law. Corporal punishment in schools to be reinstated. Kids think they're untouchable these days and when we send our kids to school we should be giving teachers our express authority to act in our stead. Education subjects must include: money management & budgeting, social responsibility & childcare. National Service reinstated. Every citizen must do two years service between the ages of 18 - 25. No exceptions apart from the seriously ill, mentally disabled. Even wheelchair bound people can do some sort of national service. All prices to be capped annually on the 1st Jan. Each year an increase of average inflation across the preceding 12 months plus 2% can be applied. Abolish different rates of Income Tax - everyone pays 30%. I see no reason why those who succeed should pay more than those who can't be arsed. Stamp duty abolished - fucking outragious form of indirect taxation. Corporation tax increased to 50% of profits and companies who try to fiddle their tax returns are fined an entire year's profits. VAT scrapped. Free dental care for all Free eye tests for all Free hob nobs for all workers at 10.30am. The unemployed to be used for community projects. Failure to comply means they lose all their benefits." I'd export Wishy. | |||
" I'd export Wishy." Hmmm. international expansion.. good plan. I'd tackle America first, same principles. Then France... nah, fuck France, do them last. Tahiti, they need sorting out but it make take some time, bout 30 years. Ta-ra. | |||
