@MrBlanding Wages for Drs that save lives? No. Tax cuts for the wealthy? Yes. Remember that the Drs will pay taxes on their pay, but the wealthy #TaxParasites will stash the money off-shore, leading to even more cuts. For Tories, even if it cost the lives of the poor, greed is everything.

@troutman831 So the government could pay doctors the extra for 18 years if they recoup the £37,000,000,000 stolen for the useless ‘track & trace’ It’s all relative..

@zidanesboots Tax avoidance costs us £120 billion a year - how about we make them pay their fair share of tax I'd start with: - no 'non-doms' in UK politics or media - only people certified/audited as 100% tax compliant with no tax debts allowed into local & national elections

It’s all about money,,not people, they want the NHS to fail completely so all the private health companies can take over and that will push up their share prices and tory held ones will then get better returns.oops, forgot top labour people have been bought by health companies ?

Paying junior doctors would cost £2 billion. Cutting inheritance tax would cost £8 billion. I vote we keep inheritance tax, pay junior doctors what they deserve and use the remaining £6 billion to repair schools, build really affordable housing, repair the care system etc.

@WhitesidePaula The Government thinking is why pay the Doctors £2b from the public purse when they and the rich can take £8b by not paying IHT

How much did the scrapping of the cap on banker’s bonuses cost the nation? We seem to have forgotten that. Another Brexit win - only not for over 99% of the UK - a country with more millionaire bankers than the rest of the EU put together

'We haven't got enough money to spend £2 billion a year paying doctors, but we can find £8 billion a year to cut a tax that's only paid by the richest 4%.' Ben Kentish points out the flaw in the government's claim that the UK 'can't afford' a pay rise for junior doctors.

Burnham needs £18 Billion year to fix social care and save the NHS. A Wealth Tax raise that— with £6 billion leftover for other priorities— and those paying it would barely notice it. 1/3

A tiny 2% wealth tax, on 20k people would raise £24 billion per year to spend on the things that urgently need fixing in our country. We need some tax justice - the more money you have the less tax you pay and vice versa - that’s absurd.

The Green Party is calling for a 1% tax on wealth over £10 million and a 2% tax on wealth over £1 billion. They say it would raise £14.8 billion a year. So, should we tax the rich? Zack Polanski and former Conservative Minister Sir John Redwood debate.

I just told the Health Secretary that restoring the pay of Junior Doctors is totally affordable. Restoring their pay would cost around £1 billion per year. That's less than half the cost of the giveaway handed to the super-rich through the non-dom tax avoidance scheme.

Since the election, we've grown the Heritage Fund from $17 billion to an expected $25 billion by the end of this year. Our goal is to build it to generate $12 billion in investment income, providing sustainable revenue for Albertans. We've focused on disciplined year-over-year spending, paying down our $80 billion debt, and freeing up $3.5 billion in finance charges. This allows us to offer tax breaks and affordability payments when we have surpluses. Let's keep building a stronger future for Alberta together!

First Tucker says Dearborn Michigan is Christian lol. Let’s leave that aside and just answer his question since he can’t do basis research. Well Tucker I’m glad you asked since you can’t engage in basic journalism anymore. Aside from the fact that more than 75% of the money that we give Israel, they have to spend with our military in industrial complex which provides 20,000 jobs to American families this is the estimated cost we would have to pay if we didn’t have an MOU with them for the security services we need in the Middle East. What would cost the U.S. to replace what Israel provides: ∙Intelligence replication: $10-30+ billion/year (wildly uncertain) ∙Combat data and weapons testing: $2-5 billion/year ∙Avoided troop deployments and basing costs: $5-10 billion/year ∙Missile defense co-development savings: $2-4 billion/year amortized ∙Cybersecurity and counter-terrorism cooperation: $1-3 billion/year Again, these are just rough estimates because we actually have no idea how much it would cost because we depend on them for so much of this stuff.

Australia Institute research shows the government would raise an extra $19 billion a year by scrapping the capital gains tax discount. Not only would it improve housing affordability, there'd be $19 billion more to spend on services. It's a no-brainer. Matt Grudnoff #auspol

Repealing Act 10 would cost taxpayers over $2 billion every year, and Mandela Barnes thinks you should just deal with it. He said if it costs “a billion to $2 billion per year, we have paid so much more in terms of consequence.” Higher taxes are always the Democrats’ answer.

I welcome and am accepting the recommendations of the pay review body in full which means doctors, consultants & senior NHS staff will get a 6% pay rise. Junior doctors will also get an extra £1,250 meaning those working in their 1st year will receive a 10.3% pay increase. 1/2

Our tax system is rigged, people with money pay half the rate of tax of people with jobs. A wealth tax would be a start and it's worth pointing out, it would only affect 20,000 people out of 60 million, and they (we) would only pay 2% on anything over 10 million pounds. It would generate £24 billion a year - which could fund so many things we badly need.

A 2% tax on wealth would only (mildly) affect 20,000 people but would generate £24bn each year that we can spend on fixing the country. End child poverty, improve the NHS, fix our schools and all that good stuff.

James Talarico (D-TX) explains how #TrumpRiggedYourTaxReturn with his Big, Ugly Bill. The top 1% get $177 billion in tax cuts while the bottom 95% pay more. On top of paying more in taxes households are paying about $1700/year because of tariffs and now fuel is at $4 a gallon.

🚨 HMRC took £90.4 BILLION more from taxpayers last year. That comes directly from the National Audit Office. In just one year, HMRC collected 10.3% more tax - an extra £90.4 billion! Thanks in part to frozen tax thresholds, 1.1 million more people were dragged into paying Income Tax. So HMRC clearly has no problem taking more money from you. What it does have, is a problem passing audit. For the 24th year in a row, auditors were unable to give HMRC a completely clean audit because they found significant levels of fraud and error. And now Andy Burnham is reportedly considering another £38 billion of tax rises. How about before taking another penny from taxpayers… …they stop the fraud and error and prove they can properly manage the record amounts we’re already paying?
