Re: The majority of UK Tax burden is not being paid by companies...
OK, how about we leave the thinly-veiled antisemitic conspiracy theories out of it for today? They'll only complicate things.
This statement of yours is probably why you were asked if Amazon and Starbucks are predominately Jewish organisations. It's pretty obvious when reading the thread. You introduced it; you were asked by puzzled commentards about it.
The idea that they're screwing the honest worker by finagling the system in some way to avoid paying their fair share is an old antisemitic conspiracy theory with a thin layer of makeup smeared on it.
Thanks for the explantion. However I think that this idea has a broader history than just antisemitism. And although there are conspiracy theories around, I also think that there is truth in some assertions that companies avoid tax, hence screwing the honest worker who has to either 1) live in a less salubrious environment as there is no money to pay for upgrades or 2) pay more in tax themselves in order to allow the government to invest in society.
