tax pays for new jobs – yes – in the bloated public sector and to fund those final salary public sector pensions!
Are you some kind of fool? Tax also destroys new jobs, or moves the job creation from the private to the public sector. Net net, tax creates no new jobs.
Predictable responses from those who a) have not noticed that right now the private sector is not creating jobs b) there is no evidence it will c) there is ample evidence without the state that the situation would be much worse d) who do not appreciate that much state spending is in the private sector
Which makes the comments completely wrong
Well, yes it might “pay” for new jobs, but it certainly doesn’t “create” them. Governments either transfer jobs from private to public sectors (through tax) or from future generations to current generations (through borrowing). But it can’t CREATE jobs.
@Peter
Ah, so let’s list those people who don’t work:
The forces
Police
All in the NHS
Teachers
97% of all in higher education
Of, RBS and Lloyds right now
The fire service
No jobs there then
And no value created by them either, eh?
Your logic is so crass it is absurd
