No one other than the super wealthy can decide on how much of their money is taxable. Think about that.
We as loyal hard working taxpayers always pay the right or sometimes a tad too much and never ever decide on what we have to contribute as it’s taken from our total income unlike those who this lovely lady speaks of. Is that fair I ask
Tom I agree with you on a lot of points, but not on this.
In the business world it very rare to be SUPER wealthy and come from a 1st gen working class background. The only time it happens frequently is in sports or entertainment.
There shouldn’t be such a thing as a billionaire. Nobody needs that much money.
We haven't got that now due to NHS tourist and immigrants and invaders.. our systems are broken..
Note the inflammatory words Tom using 'vasts sums of money' no Tom, money they owe due to tax avoidance.
wow this guy is bought tackle and all into the trickle down ideology
We don’t live in a society where hard work inherently equates to success. Receiving a reward based on the how hard you work is literally a form of communism. It’s just not how a capitalist society functions. It’s clear his knowledge about this stuff is vibes.
The caller is 100% correct.… look at those tech daddies in the US!!
Host is a touch arrogant here.
Caller is 100%. You’re wrong this time sorry
He’s changed his tune. Finally.
😂 Tom, you are talking out your backside, this caller is completely correct. As for very wealthy people contributing vast sums of money, your gaving a laugh. If this country was more egalitarian then every one would contribute an more equal share into public services. The continued existence of the NHS should depend on the largesse of the very wealthy. You are completely wrong on this issue. And yes, people who make vast sums of money, more money than normal people could spend in a lifetime, have exploited somebody. Get real man!
Maybe if the billionaires actually paid their tax his argument might carry some weight.
She is absolutely CORRECT 😂
What a fool, getting paid to sit in that chair.
We only need tax receipts from super-rich as long as they exist.
Tax wealth. Redistribute it. Rebuild the working and middle class that they're impoverishing. Do away with this notion of billionaires. They shouldn't be allowed to exist.
Tom is wrong. Must be a day ending in Y
Liebour doesn't care about the wealthy. They can rob pensioners instead.
Vast sums are miniscule compared with his real masters on the square
OK i am shocked… Never have I ever came into the comments section of a video clip like this and every comment I have seen so far I agree with.. This blows my mind.. Have the bots took the day off?? Or am I now a bot of the collective mind? Lol
TAX WEALTH NOT WORK Thanks to Gary Stevenson we all know the truth we just need to act. ❤
The wealth would be there whether it's in the pockets of billionaires or the people that worked to generate that wealth in the first place. Plus, ordinary people are more likely to spend their money in the country and ACTUALLY pay tax.
Very ignorant journalist. Most legal immigrants in this country pay for their NHS care on a yearly basis. What has it got to do with the rich ?
Envy again.
If the workers have more money they spend it locally often. Cars from local dealers, restaurants, local builders.
Rich do enjoy people and often do stuff locally but super rich generally are elsewhere spending and so is their money where it's saved.
This guy is either an idiot, right wing, or rich.
Of course, the rich make money by exploiting the working class. They make them work like slaves.
Lol he's so wrong 😂
It takes money to make money.
Well spoken, Lady. And this journalist should at least consider, that it is impossible to becoming super rich without having done illegal things like exploiting people or bribing politicians. How can you be that naive?
Caller a prime example of the bitter jealous no brain left. The rich pay far more in all tax than the rest of us. But it will never be enough to some unless by chance they get there too, then it will be enough….
How can He call himself a journalist!! What a nieve pratt
The super rich overcharge for their product or service and underpay their staff to make a profit
Tom is rich hence why he feels he must defend, ironically LBC and his show require people calling in for him to earn a living some day exploit them
I think Reagan debunked the whole trickle down economy. It is a load of horse shiet. Every competent economist would agree a strong working middle class is the foundation ndation for a strong economy and society
Why charge anybody more tax? It will just be more money wasted by the government
Another woke lefty presenter. LBC are a disgrace.
The UK’s competition watchdog has imposed fines totalling more than £260m on pharmaceutical companies after an investigation found that they overcharged the NHS for hydrocortisone tablets for almost a decade. That's just one medication…. absolutely corrupt
I agree, the interviewer needs a reality check very fast.
And if we don’t stop spending £30 billion a year support foreign nations either in this country or abroad.
