It might annoy the likes of swipe, who would prefer to see more money in the hands of the highest earners.

Oh sorry, you said down sides!

Well I laughed at least.

But they've already got more money, due to the fact that they're the highest earners.

But they need more, see?
They could save it or put it to good use.
And then it might 'trickle down' to the less fortunate in society somehow.

Surely having a high income is a high achievement?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 20 Aug 2014, 13:32, Reply)

no
it's the reward for working hard. the job and what you give back are the achievements.

Not always.

presumably
you will be giving your house and any money to society rather than to your kids?

we all know your "achievement" already. you're leaving behind giant round black coasters to protect future generations of coffee tables.

Indirectly through taxation, yes.
I'm pretty proud of my "achievement" and am glad there will be something left after I am dead.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 20 Aug 2014, 13:47, Reply)

no, that's avoiding the question
are you leaving your house and any saved money to your kids? you seem to be against other people saving and passing it down, so presumably you'd never do it yourself.

I'm not sure where you got that idea from

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 20 Aug 2014, 13:53, Reply)

It's the people who would save it that are part of the problem.

( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 20 Aug 2014, 13:58, Reply)

Oh right, you misunderstood me.
As Bonzo or someone pointed out in the same subthread, spending the £71 would provide more of a stimulation for the economy than squirrelling it away.
I am not against saving, in fact I think it is a sensible thing to do.

stop being sensible
you want everyone to give their houses up in some kind of giant yurt fest, admit it.

they work so hard and nobody loves them for it, it's a crying shame...
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 20 Aug 2014, 13:42, Reply)

I feel more sorry for those who work so hard and don't get the same remuneration.
However thick and annoying they are.

i don't
some people should get a lot more than they do. nurses and teachers definitely should. but the general public? thick and annoying. and you should know. you live in cov where they invented it.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 20 Aug 2014, 14:02, Reply)

What about the support staff that enable nurses and teachers to do their jobs?
A lot of them are quite thick and annoying.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 20 Aug 2014, 14:06, Reply)

Hey how about everyone getting a lump sum from the government every week to top up their wages
It wouldn't have to be much just say £71 or something
