veritas	links..links
In The Know	I see your union friends - this time at BA - have finally (after 2 years) "settled" their dispute with BA. What did they achieve (apart from costing the company 150million in lost revenues, and the loss of the public's respect?) - oh, they got their "perks" back !
veritas	instead of rabbitiing on and on here..it's a Re-education Camp for In The Know ! you have been warned in the past ITK.
veritas	yeh sure. They will pack up and go somewhere else. where ? how is Vodafone goining to keep it's UK customers by going somewhere else ? what corporation is going to give away all it's profits because they may have less profits. Tell the fuckers to piss orf then..you don't think banks wouldn't be falling over themselves to back a government run enterprise supplying electricty or mobile phone services ? a void created will be filled. Each and every time. It's not only a scientific fact but an economic one as well. "A little tax is better than NO tax at all!"...?? what an insult to the ordinary taxpayer. Why aren't they given equal opportunity to do likewise. I don't think you read the piece completely ITK...this bogus idea that they will go somewhere else is a recent invention and the article explains what an empty threat it is. Reagan / Thatcher and conservative governments like Eisenhower in the US and McMillan in the UK never accepted these idiotic threat and corps were taxed at 90% and everyone in both countries grew richer and in turn the corporations grew richer because more money was spent and spread around. I am amazed at your thinking...you say basically government should confine itself to only certain actions and believe corporations should be all powerful and call the shots and use blackmail. Odd. This is soooo similar to the idiotic claim that a new ghastly McDonalds will "provide employment" for 100 kids. What isn't being said is that the new McDonalds will put a dozen smaller restaurants out of work and destroy 200 jobs as a study in Oz has just shown...where 6 McDomalds have actually closed down and the reverse is happening..new smaller restaurants opened in their place and are hiring more people. You are repeating PR spin which the media now presents us as fact without question.
In The Know	I do want corportations to pay their correct taxes - but if we hound them too much (under globilization) they will simply go elsewehere. Someone else will step in and offer them a better deal. A little tax is better than NO tax at all !
