@rawespresso Yeah I'm sure earning 99K a year is true tragedy for them, womp womp 🥀
English
The UK is the only country in Europe where earning more can leave you worse off.
Get a pay rise from £99K to £104K and after losing tax-free childcare, your personal allowance taper and child benefit, your take-home actually drops.
We have built a tax system that quietly punishes you for working harder and we call it 'fair.'
English
@annaroseridgway £1040 a month won't cover rent, council tax and bills. Nevermind food, and that's for one person in a tiny flat.. How'd you come up with this?
English
This is probably going to ruffle some feathers but it has to be pointed out.
Living a “comfortable life” or a “nice life” is not a human right.
The state should not be required to ensure that you don’t have to sell your house or that you can afford comforts.
£12,500 alone is not enough to live a comfortable life - but I think it is more than enough to survive.
If you want to have a comfortable life in retirement, sell your house, earn some extra income, or save money before you retire.

@The_Real_Joey_B @PensionsMonkey @DJBMCMXCIII Gotta have money to make money, and when a 9-5 (with side hustles) barely covers necessities, how does one "acquire wealth"?

How is it 65% of our population are so economically illiterate?

🚨 NEW: 65% of Brits support the Green Party's policy of capping CEO pay at ten times the pay of the lowest paid employee

@OhSoGamer @PensionsMonkey @DJBMCMXCIII Oh yes I'm so blessed by the top 10% 🙏🙏🙏
Can't afford necessities on a 9-5 but thank you to those 10% 🤝🙏🙏
English
@kwrmag @PensionsMonkey @DJBMCMXCIII Top 10% of households paying for the upkeep of the bottom 50% through super high taxes.
FTFY.

@PensionsMonkey @DJBMCMXCIII Because they see the massive wealth inequality in this country that’s why . Share it around .
English
@Byromew @PensionsMonkey True, everything will collapse unless the balance is improved, the people are sick of barely getting by whilst the top 5% hoard wealth. Something needs to change. (Spoiler, it's not the immigrants either)
English
@PensionsMonkey Because voting for the same policies has worked so well for the last 100 years right?
The country has been doing so well right?

@93vintagejones @cultofwilson It helps by ending the high cost of detention and treating people with dignity while they navigate the system. It reduces immediate "system stress," but I still believe we won't see real improvement until we address the corporate greed hollowing out the country.
English
@yesmorememe @cultofwilson Ok but the question was how does this help.
English
[Zack Polanski]: hey we got this policy that should improve things somewhat.
[20 year old lad from provincial town with 🏴🍺🍋🇬🇧 in his name and the number of stadiums he’s been to in his bio for some reason]: this man will ruin this country. he is evil. this man scares me.
English
@BemeBoy @93vintagejones @cultofwilson Removing detention isn't "open borders" - it's a human rights reform. Also, that 3 million figure sounds like an extreme "what if" projection rather than a target. It’s easier to blame migrants than to hold the billionaire class accountable for the state of our infrastructure.
English
@yesmorememe @93vintagejones @cultofwilson Doesn’t help is understatement of the century: greens want literal open borders. It’s in their manifesto. Their own documents report an estimated 3 MILLION ANNUALLY.
English
@93vintagejones @cultofwilson Whilst immigration definitely doesn't help the already stressed system, it's not the root cause of this countries issues.
Countless right wing parties have spent years convincing the public that it is the case, so they don't realise the 1% (greed) is a BIG part of the problem

@KyleJollymore89 @maxcownie_ Lmao imagine blaming immigrants for CEOs choosing stock buybacks over living wages. Productivity is up but pay stayed flat since the 70s. It’s not a supply issue, it’s corporate greed and lobbying. If they wanted to pay more, they would. Don't let them scapegoat people.
English
The point of a business is to maximize profits. You can personally invest in that business to reep the rewards.
The greed is enabled by the government allowing mass immigrants to keep the wages down
If there were not unlimited people to take those jobs the company would have to raise wages.
The only people to blame is the governments immigration policy.
English
The first is ridiculous.
Tesco employee could earn £14 an hour and you want the CEO to work for £140 an hour🤣
Then get taxed half. Nah😂

🚨 NEW: Green leader Zack Polanski will call for policies to end the "affordability crisis" tomorrow - The introduction of a 10:1 pay ratio, whereby the highest-paid employee earns no more than ten times the lowest-paid - Free school meals for all primary and secondary pupils - Universal energy bill support for households and stronger rent controls - A customs union with the EU to cut business costs
English
@KyleJollymore89 @maxcownie_ you seem to skip over the fact that it's full time, we should be able to afford basic necessities doing a 9-5, which points to a fundamental flaw in the system ((greed)), hence why in a lot of people's eyes green sounds like a positive choice
English
@yesmorememe @maxcownie_ That would be because you're easily replaceable. They're not
English
@KyleJollymore89 @maxcownie_ Wrong again unfortunately, it's a skilled profession but the company LOVES underpaying their staff, whilst the higher ups all drive flashy cars and pull the big bucks, classic corporate hell
English
@yesmorememe @maxcownie_ How is it someone else's fault if you're not providing enough value to others to make a living? You chose the wrong career path
English
@KyleJollymore89 @maxcownie_ Quite the contrary, built a career over the past 10 years, work full time and still can't afford basic necessities in life
English
@yesmorememe @maxcownie_ I'm amazed how many envious losers hate successful people so much they want to steal their money
English
@Proppoq @RandomGadgie @cezthesocialist @danbarker @PolitlcsUK Lmao what? I used to earn 3.90 when I started working at 14, and earned similar once I started an apprenticeship at 19, it was absolutely shit, couldn't afford rent nor normal necessities
English
@RandomGadgie @cezthesocialist @danbarker @PolitlcsUK Because as someone who did an apprenticeship a few years ago at 16 starting on £4.38 an hour I learned how to budget my money, essentially how to be financially savvy with it. It was annoying for sure and frustrating at times but I look back on it now and I'm glad what i learned

What’s fucking mental to me, is it’s all the youngsters that fucking love this cunt of a party, literally destroying their own future so their uni mates who they won’t know in 5 years don’t think they’re racist😂

"I'm amazed to why so many people defend the ones earning 500k+ a year"

Outrage at a CEO only getting £120k a year and not outrage at the cleaner only getting £12k a year is why the country is in such a mess
IC@isaac1k__
didn’t even read the rest, 10:1 pay ratio is the dumbest thing i’ve ever heard in my entire life. you could be a CEO, a cooperate lawyer, a top level surgeon, but you can’t earn over 120k because the part time cleaner earns 12k.
