Yes, give the C-Suite classes a heads up so they have time to funnel their profits elsewhere before the ineffectual taxes hit. Good show.
“We cannot rule out a windfall tax…….But will vote it down without hesitation”
Cunts.
Can’t seem to do anything more than vaguely suggest you *may* do it, even though all your C-Suite buddies know damn well that you won’t, though.
So fucking do it then.
These cunts get paid half a million a year and *then* get a bonus. People seem to be forgetting that RECORD BREAKING PROFITS are talking about PROFITS, which are after all your overheads (such as salaries!). Any infrastructure critical to modern life (energy, food, internet, petrol etc) should be capped at a maximum profit of 250million per year, with measures to prevent them giving themselves ludicrous pay rises to effectively extend the profits.
So is what you really mean ‘we may have decided how we’re gonna funnel that money into our pockets and back into the pockets of the c-levels at these companies to secure their support’
The constant flirting with this is more irritating than pretty much any will-they-or-won’t-they relationship in a sitcom.
Shit or get off the pot, please.
Taxes **always** get passed onto the consumer.
“We cannot rule out a Windfall tax” says minister a week after Conservatives ruled out a Windfall tax.
Talk of a windfall tax is misdirection. If cash transfers to the poor is good policy, we can just do it. If taxing fossil fuel producers is good policy, we can do that too. But they’re completely separate policies, and there’s absolutely no need to do one in order to do the other.
