fair is the most difficult word in politics.

Some consider taking money from the rich and giving to the poor as fair.

How can that be?


Yet Robin Hood, if the stories are even halfway true, was greatly admired for doing so.

Wink



Robin Hood did not rob the middle incomes to pay for the poor.

Not by me.
I believe the rich should pay more than they do.

My issue was always you stuck families like mine in the same huge bracket as David Beckhams.

He earns in a week what do in a year.

Yet it's us that gets told we are rich....

one-off tax levy imposed by the French government on incomes for households with assets of more than 1.3 million euros ($1.71 million).

The surcharge was introduced by left wing president Francois Hollande when he took office last year. It was meant to offset a rebate brought in by the previous government that capped individual tax liability at 50 per cent of income.



So its actually just a once off levy to recoup losses created by a loophole from the previous administration.

But i guess that wouldn't make such a good headline

The Right Wing only believe in free speech when they agree with what is being said.

There is a difference between rich and having enough to not need to be a burdon sponging on society and requiring government hand outs.

It'll make the families feel so much better.

I guess the idea is to remove the wealth from rich private individuals and give it to the government to spend instead, worked well in Cuba  Grin


Taught people to read and write and provided a world class, free health system. Sounds okay to me.
