>including tax breaks to encourage wealthy pension savers to stay in work for longer.
Can someone explain how that money stuffed in private pension, de facto powering wealthy investment funds is going to “trickle down”?
It looks like this is a two pronged way to boost the rich – one, to enable them to avoid paying tax through salary sacrifice – with no limits, second flood investment funds with money so they can invest in billionaire’s companies.
That has a striking characteristic of fascist government:
Corporate Power is Protected
The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
If you’ve got enough money and decide to comfortably retire, you’re not going to go back to work for a bit more money, you might go back to work because you love your job.
Policy usually is based on moving taxes into the hands of private equity.
Which is probably worth it when it comes to GP’s and highly skilled medical professionals.
However the fact it’s been extended to everyone is another Tory handout to the rich
I know it won’t happen, but I suspect giving each claimant £70k each will have a bigger impact on what they want to achieve than empoying loads of officials in offices.
So we have 7 billion a year to help private enterprises, but don’t have a billion to pay junior doctors. Tories gonna Tory.
Have they considered spending £70,000 per job to help people out of uni get into work in todays environment of being rejected immediately for lack of experience? Rather than spending it on people who don’t want to and don’t need to work getting back into it?
The sceptic in my says this is all just a mask to cover up their unannounced plans to make it easier for them to sanction people claiming benefits, make it harder to claim things like tax credits if you work part time, and decline people disability benefits.
This seems incredibly unwise, surely there’s a better economic investment for such expenses?
