As the graph above shows, the higher the income the less the rich need to pay in direct tax costs.
The negative rate (dipping below the zero line) means we are paying for those people's accountancy costs, administration and security costs (i.e. Bank of England protection, physical policing, rights to hold property, and State administration of these rights), while in most cases they take large amounts from the State - from us, who pay all `real taxes'.
The amounts they take from us include :-
subsidies for simply owning large estates;
ref-01
subsidies for owning cars and for transport costs - subsidies so high they make a profit from travel, which ordinary people pay dearly for; ref-02
subsidies for entertainment, masquerading as "culture" - State maintained "Arts" for the rich (sterile & ignorant works); ref-03 *See Note below
subsidies for elite education - denied ref10 to the poor. edu1
N.B. British Prime Ministers have consistently lied about real rates of taxes on incomes, which for ordinary and poor people are nearly doubled by the addition of National Insurance - two further taxes, one masquerading as an employer's contribution but which really is taken from the wage - the payroll cost.
All these taxes are taken as a percentage of real earnings - but not from the rich. This was finally admitted (on the record) by John Major in 1992.
The 'establishment' (including MPs) only pay a special tiny rate of National Insurance, as they do with Property Tax (see III and IV), and most, thanks to special 'allowances' and 'per diems', escape net direct taxation altogether.
Note - "Aida" in Rome is a great evening, attended and appreciated by truck drivers and millionaires; the same programme in London is dead, the audience too.
In UK, 'ordinary' people's entertainment is treated as 'commercial'; so we must pay the cost + the profit + local taxes + national taxes; that is, we must pay FOUR times over for our entertainment, and so we value it.
But UK's rich refuse to pay even ONCE, which is why their `culture' is sterile and without any value - except greed.
'National Insurance' - Official lies
Senior civil-servants & politicians use official lies to increase the income taxes of working people - but exempt themselves & the rich from paying
Lie #1, "National" - the two N.I. taxes are paid in full only by the working middle- and lower-incomed - via payroll taxation. The rich (& the politicians) do not pay.
Lie #2, "Insurance" - The two NI taxes are taken as a percentage of payroll earnings. They are not "insurance premiums".
Lie #3, "Employee's Contribution" - is taken as a percentage - from the gross payroll earnings of the employee - compulsorily.
Lie #4 "Employer's Contribution" - is taken as a percentage - from the gross payroll earnings of the employee - compulsorily.
Therefore both #3 & #4 are taxes taken from the employee's payroll earnings.
Lie #5 : "NI contributions" of the rich (& politicians) - are a tiny 'token' payment - see below
From the graph below you see majority of working people (90% - 95% of UK earns less than £40,000) are paying 22% extra in NI tax - so they've got to pay a total of 44% - 54% real Income Tax on GROSS INCOME! (all they earn - no deductions allowed).
That's much, much more than the rich, who pay only 40% on NET INCOME - after they've fiddled all their "expenses", travel, accountancy, wives' & children's investments etc - leaving the rich paying about 10% tax - if that!
Therefore the rich do not pay net-taxation at all. Therefore they, MPs, magistrates, judges, police-chiefs, as well as the city fraudsters, are all parasites, stealing - by force of `law' - from the poor.
1995 - Finally an English prime-minister admits
a) NI taxes are really part of Income Tax.
b) "Income Tax" is therefore unfair & regressive.
"employees" + "employers" NI taxes are taken in full only from earnings below £30,000 pa.
above £30,000 the "employee" sum is "frozen" - so much richer folk pay only tiny percentages
we've dropped "employer" tax after £30,000 ('cos corrupt I.R. usually allows the rich or the powerful to pretend to be "self-employed" or "contracted" - most noticeably if in Press & BBC - so no "employer" tax is taken from their high payroll earnings).
2007 - That `threshold' is now at £35,000 pa.
Politician Liars
A decade or so ago an English Prime Minister - M. Thatcher - claimed that "Britain has a fair Income Tax System." She - in full knowledge - was lying. liar
She covered-up the "National Insurance" scam above, extra income-tax on earnings of working folk. She also 'forgot' huge "allowances" & "subsidies", link04 & link04a only for the rich (& politicians). taxlies
One of her ministers - C. Parkinson - later claimed that UK's Property Tax (the 'Council Tax') was also 'fair.' He - in full knowledge - was lying. liar & tax 3 &
tax4
[Oct. 2003 a Liberal Democrat MP reveals corrupt "Council Tax" set-up: it asks only half-a-day's earnings from Prime Minister Tony Blair, but rips-off two months' income from an already poor pensioner.]
Her immediate successor as Prime Minister was J. Major who also - in full knowledge - lied. pervert3
He continued to lie about Income Tax, once in a letter to `Perceptions' editor (me) - via a lying civil servant. Only much later was he forced to admit that `National Insurance' (a tax) is an unfair, regressive additional Income Tax.
[Note: If you were in UK at the time, you might remember another `big lie' from John Major: his lying slogan - `the polluter pays'. It turns out he's omitted two words. Under his Gov't, and every previous and subsequent gov't - "the rich polluter never pays"!]
2006 - `New Labour' continues the Big Lie (28 Dec '06 - BBC Radio 4 `World at One' interview with Minister Hazel Blears). The BBC interviewer happily accepted her lie, that "... we have a progressive tax system" - without any questions.
All three types of taxation in UK - on earnings, on spending, on property - are highly regressive: taking more from the poor than from the rich.
In real life Mrs Blears pays less than a quarter of the income tax rate, less than a fiftieth of the real VAT costs, and less than a hundredth of the "property-tax" (council tax) rates that poorer people (80% - 90% of the population) are forced to pay.
So Mrs Blears is not only a liar - she's also a greedy, thieving, privileged parasite!
Shamefully, all UK national politicians are only a shade less hypocritical than our lying gov't ministers, lying senior mandarins, and the lying Bishops of the `C of E'.
A corrupt BBC not only promulgates these lies but conspires to deceive the public. Reason why?
This generation of corrupt politicians, serving only the interests of stupid rich people, has changed the UK Tax System to its present highly regressive state.
Every year it takes more than 50% of total income from poor and middle-incomed folk, much more from poorer families but less than half of 1% [0.5%] from the very rich.
So the gap between rich and poor always increases in UK! ref10
Because foolish and venal politicians, senior-civil-servants and most media are in the hands of the even stupider rich.

The present administration is still unfairly and corruptly taking net taxes only from middle-incomed working people and from the poor, while paying ZERO net taxation themselves.
They never tell the truth. taxlies & biglie & bbio1
See Tony Blair's weasel words "Britain has the lowest tax-burden in Europe"
So how come "ordinary British middle and working class people pay the highest net taxes in Europe?"

11 Jan 2001 - Children link01 of the poor are barred from school for not wearing expensive compulsory school uniforms their overtaxed parents can't afford. 1999 - Many councils link02 now charge fees for "public" services paid for by poor peoples' taxes - educational link03 & link04 facilities, museums, even "public" washrooms or lavatories. So the poor and lower-incomed can't use them! Now young mothers and anyone out-of-work, paying vastly higher real tax rates than the well-off councillors and their richer friends, are corruptly excluded from use of services (and grants) for which they (the poor) are paying so much. Hypocrite councillors and rich senior civil servants are thus exposed as liars link07 and thieves. For the middle-incomed and the poor - who pay the highest rates of local tax - are now excluded, by unfair costs, from the very services for which they are paying so highly. click-for-update |
"Perceptions" editor wrote to John Major (then UK Prime Minister) asking why his government allowed Duke of Westminster (England's richest so-called "aristocrat") to escape 99.9% of the taxes that we poorer people are forced to pay. [Duke pays less than 0.001% property tax, while many poor people are forced to pay 1000% - a tax rate one million times higher than the Duke's The Duke - like other rich aristocrats (and many politicians) - is paying much less tax than the national average and is therefore a criminal parasite feeding off the poor - see here & here] John Major instructed his civil servant to answer, saying - a) that British taxes were 'fair' - a lie; b) that 'National Insurance' was not taxation - another lie; c) that the Duke paid fair taxes - yet another lie. All politicians and senior civil servants are motivated to lie, especially about taxes. |
