Think of it as supporting citizens instead of workers. UK corporate & capital gains taxes make up less than 10% of overall taxes. This is normal. I'm a pragmatist. Happy to support any realistic plan to shift tax burdens upmarket, if possible but my starting position is that we have X resources to work with. X= about 40% of gbp in most countries. I don't think economies can support much more. I'm not counting on any of the politicians promising to tax multinationals. If they succeed in bringing in VAT-like sums without taking it from the pocket of workers I will change my mind. For now, work with what we got.
