Tax cuts to “cost” £7.2Bn.
No, no they are not. Money not taken by force from us is not a cost, it is a saving. Money that we earn and we keep that goes into the economy as opposed to stuffing the trouser pockets of the state and its hangers-on. There is no cost. Not one penny.
Referring to the announcement of tax cuts, he said: “It will be really important to understand how this will be paid for.”
It doesn’t need paying for. It is money they simply do not receive. If they have less, then they will spend less. This is a good thing all round. And if they want some help looking for places where they can start cutting back on their spending, I can always offer my services. I’d do it for nothing.
It isn’t just pure bollocks:- it’s a form of Newspeak from the ruling élite: portray it (however dishonestly) as a “cost”, and the state clients – i.e. the recipients of state largesse – will perceive it as a cost to themselves & rail against it.
Despite their received largesse being paid from the state’s larcenous sticky fingers being perpetually in MY pocket, they genuinely feel aggrieved by this.
1) You CAN, it appears, fool most of the people all of the time
2) In a sane world, you couldn’t make it up.
The no money cost of better health is correct diet and changing behaviour. The no money cost of better reduced tax (tax cuts) is correct diet and behaviour change for the government: Stop eating money and stealing freedoms.
Well it’s the BBC isn’t it? An entire organisation which has no concept of taxes at all and is funded by “free” money which they do not have to earn – they just demand it.
You really are asking too much of the poor petals to understand the concept of tax… or even austerity or a balance sheet for that matter. I mean when Robert Peston is your chief economics journalist that says tons about the rest of them doesn’t it?
