I think I said a few pages back I think they will target pensions (at least higher rate relief) to make it more difficult to retire early. There have also been suggestions they are going to stop over 55's from tapping their pension pots for day to day expenses.

make it more difficult for people to retire early would be a good ideas, the problems of early retirement was a predictable problem.

Our pension pots are ours and not tapping for day to day cos we both now get monthly pensions that they cannot take away - unless they change the law and piss off several million people who tend to vote.

see the rich squeal at the prospect of being fairly taxed.

We will have 5 years of not much changing and them blaming the Tories for the mess they inherited........ which is why all their plans are 10 year plans.

Well taxes are already high...so no one wants to pay more...but the fact if the matter is we're probably going to need to.

he wasn't smart enough to recognise himself as a part of that group; or he's being prejudiced about another group.

I'm just not te sort of greedy breadhead who is unable to recognise their own tax avoidance.

 

 

 

So you think the tax avoiders are the smart people; I think they're the assholes.

yes, the biggest grouping of tax avoiders. each and everyone of them has opted into their tax avoidance.i n the hope, other peoples taxes and their own tax avoidance will make them rich.

The govt do the tax avoiding thing to encourage people to save for a pension and people do it because the state pension isn't really enough to live on. Some people do very well out of it. I guess govt could take away this tax break and spend it on an a state pension increase...

You sound a little bitter about not having built up a pension, getting by on handouts while waiting for your inheritance, as you said.

You don’t opt in to a pension you have to opt out and you’d be a fool for doing so.

 

Also this has to be your daftest viewpoint yet and that’s saying something!

As ever with Neil, the weird things he gets really passionate about are always thinly veiled jealousy

It's not daft to point out tax avoidance or the twats who think the tax avoiders are the smart people

Not bitter, I have plenty to get by on including the memories of enjoying my earnings when fit enough to do so.

Kemi Badenoch is proving to be a bit sh*t. Not sure if she is the future the Tories need.
