Interesting and eloquent.
‘You-Tuber’ taxable- no sweat .Fun Fact about the UK taxation system; back in the 1980s when in the course of my duties as a ‘taxman’ on reading one of the many volumes of instruction books I encountered guidance on how to deal with income from burglary – yep it was taxable- but nothing about reporting the person to the police (confidentiality y’see).

Hello Roger. The government must have its cut no matter how. If you have it, they want some or all of it. Hugs

When I first joined H.M Inspector of Taxes we had a complex system of checks and balances to try and ensure the system worked on the basis of ability to pay tax. I respected that and saw taxation as fair system. Then we had Thatcherism and a ‘simplification’ of the system which enabled those with to keep more, and to continued.
Now we have a computer system and comparatively few human staff. With emphasis on indirect taxation which is not representative.
I am disenchanted

Hello Roger. I don’t blame you. I was a young kid, just joined the military when Reagan ran. Yes I voted against him, but I have no idea if my vote even got counted. I seen the entire world I believed in change, get turned upside down by that election. To this day I struggle to understand the change in my country with that election. Out went compassion and taking care of those that had less and in came the idea that greed and having the most was the best thing. Back then the popular phrase was greed was good again. Said who, it was not said by me and my barracks mates who couldn’t make a car payment. The wealthy got richer and the rest of us got poorer for a long time. Hugs

That phrase turned up in the 1987 Oliver Stone film ‘Wall Street’. As spoken by the central character Gordon Gekko “greed, for lack of a better word, is good.”.
Stone probably meant the film to be condemnatory and a warning. As usual with unpleasant characters they became ‘folk heroes’ and the film inspired quite a few to become stock brokers.
The Right who go on at great length about wealth AND Jesus Christ seemed to gloss over His warning words about wealth.

Hi Scottie
A PS: I just looking back at the history of that film and found the quote actually had an historical origin:
Copied & Pasted from Wikipedia:
The defense of greed is a paraphrase of the May 18, 1986, commencement address at the UC Berkeley’s School of Business Administration, delivered by arbitrageur Ivan Boesky (who himself was later convicted of insider trading charges), in which he said, “Greed is all right, by the way. I want you to know that. I think greed is healthy. You can be greedy and still feel good about yourself.”
There you go, the plain ugly evidence.
Take care you guys
