But take a look at this photo can you see what I can see? It is a snap shot of a small area of London and the UK. Look at the crowds, they are made up of tourists, residents and workers in London. Every time you put a foot on British soil you start to pay tax. VAT on goods bought. Then there is tax on earnings and on every move you make. The buildings in this picture earning tax, rent on apartments and office spaces, council tax too but yet when you look you see the hospital needing tax and NI contributions to provide the care within. But the staff earn and pay tax and NI, the drugs used earn tax or should be if the companies are paying their dues. The companies providing the technology and equipment for care should be paying tax on their profits and the factories and outlets earning tax too. There is land registry tax and road tax. You cannot see in this picture but to the left of this picture is the Marriot hotel and then the embankment with the London Eye. All bringing in revenue. Money is coming into the treasury then circulating out and back again. Even people on benefits pay tax with the VAT on goods they try to purchase with the left over of £73.10 a week minus housing benefit cap of £9.50 a week minus council tax expected to pay. The tax is then earned on electric supply and look all clothes worn by the crowds and the mobile phones they use.. if the communications companies are paying their dues.. There are services to provide policing but they earn salaries that are taxed and they pay tax on goods they buy and interest on any mortgages they have and investments. I could elaborate more on this one photo but then pan out in your mind and see the whole of the United Kingdom... even the 1.5 billion paid to the DUP will be earning tax back in the services it is supposed to be providing in the deal with northern Ireland....
So unless the money from the elite is going off shore to other accounts like Panama - where is all the money going and can we see the accounts for every £1 as why are we having problems with poverty, debts and cutbacks? Even with the fairy money citizens use that of the Goddess Visa on credit cards still earns tax. But then pushes folk into debt - though the earnings from the debt with exorbitant % payments should be bringing in enormous funds as companies make profit margins.
It all to me suggests very bad management of government! for surely poverty, folk going without food and shelter in any land is diagnostic of failed leadership.
Disproportionate share of wealth is diagnostic of failed leadership.
Infrastructures failing to support the community is diagnostic of failed leadership.
I am reminded of the American Indian tribes - the Chief and his council would make decisions for the benefit of all the tribe. No one went without food, clothing and shelter.
When I mingle with the crowds and strike up conversations with folk - all folk want is to live their lives with financial dignity and freedom to do things while they are alive.... All they want is to be happy and in peace with their families safe. So why are we not achieving this? afterall £$£$£ are man made not of the Universal creator.. we have an amazing earth to enjoy. One that reminded us last night in the earthquake that we are a fragile ball of an earth crust over magma, with shifting drifts of plates under ground far more underground than the London underground..... we need in all this mayhem to respect Mother Earth and have respect for one another. Just be able to live in harmony together.
But one last thought on this picture can you also see the see the logic and common sense of footfall kinetic energy from Pavegen - special pavement slabs that generate electricity from the kinetics of footfall... neat idea and so logical in crowded areas... !
