They really want taxpayers to just leave the UK. Is that even legal?

Netzero the gift that keeps on giving….
Is this not essentially mirroring taxation and perhaps an argument for nationalisation?
Subsidised Bills for the low earners.
F off last week the big energy companies announced profits of over $500 billion.
We know full well if the prices go up for one they good up for all
How about ofgem start representing they are meant to represent the consumer and not the energy companies.
Yep those ‘higher earners’ will be anyone 50p per hr above minimum wage
So high earners need to fund people’s energy, health, pension, benefits, education and anything else the country thinks of, so that they essentially end up with a similar take home as a lower earner in a less stressful job.
Fuck it, I’ll just move and get paid somewhere else.
When they say higher earners will this actually be yet another raid on the middle earners so there’s even less incentive to move up the tax ladder
Net Zero Poverty, we have the highest energy prices in the developed world, thus have sent our industries to India and China.
Privatisation was supposed to fund all upgrades.
Most expensive energy prices in the world, energy companies posting record profits. These fuckers want us to subsidise their business, just, FUCK. OFF.
At what point do we just burn it all down? Have fun trying to rinse me when there are no pylons or substations left you greedy fucks.
This is your regular reminder that in the UK, people in the top 50% of earners are responsible for 90.5% of the total income tax share. The “high earners” if that’s what you call those in the top 25% of earners are responsible for a staggering 76.4% of the total
[Source](https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/shares-of-total-income-before-and-after-tax-and-income-tax-for-percentile-groups) from gov website, tab number 4, percentage shares
How about caping profits for these companies and the rest going to investment and to cutting bills
Less profits anyone?
It’s almost like unprecedented immigration, mass increase in EVs and Net Zero goals are straining the fuck out of our energy infrastructure and costing us predictably more and more.
How about the Energy companies that are making obscene profits put their hands in their pockets
Im all for progressive taxes but this is stupid
How about higher bill’s for higher consumers.
“Middle earners” means >£0
Yadda yadda,, I just don’t think it’s fair to single out certain demographics to pay more and others less, I know income tax etc but these companies having extended access to income levels etc, well I think it’s just a bit stinky 🤔🤷♀️
