By whose definition are you not rich?
judging by the amount of hardware you have to watch tv you are considerably richer that I .Also the amount of time you spend on this forum i would suggest you don't have much of a job ,if one at all,or one that demands very few hours for a large wage .I look at that evidence and wonder how you have the gall to comment on wealthy people who do at least provide jobs even low paid jobs and quite probably provided you with the means to be able to afford
100 MB Broadband, XL Tv, Sky Sports and Movies HD, all other premium channels, 3 TIVO, 2 V HD

maybe someone could enlighten as to exactly what the cost of all that is because i bet it's quite a lot and i also bet you have 5 realy nice HD TV's to watch it all on and a top of the range pc/laptop/ipad/tablet with which to post your hypochritical drivel on ......oh and not to mention the 5 rooms in which to place all that hardware so it must be quite some house you live in .
You appear to be one of those people who in your ideal, single government ruled world who would be more equa than most others
Feel free to correct me if i am wrong

Oooohh ,so maybe it is wealthy parents funding him .I find it strange that someone who has not had to fend for himself in the real world by finding a job and living off that wage feels that he is qualified to tell all of us how broken the system is and how to fix it

Charlie Gilmour ring any bells? There are plenty of others like him who like to talk the talk whilst enjoying the privileges derived from the wealth they say they despise but, judging by our resident fantasist's spelling, if any money was spent on public school it was wasted.... You wait and see, if/when he grows up he'll be just as capitalist as all the others are....

That's who i thought of .
My biggest concern is that when i am in my dotage i will be relying on numties like him to run the country I may as well end it all now

Actually, tax avoidance must be ok with socialist lefties.......no matter what they say: Mr Livingstone has avoided at least £50,000 in tax by having himself paid through a personal company.

Let's not forget David Miliband carries out this practice as well.

[Osem]

A brief search for 'Miliband', 'tax avoidance' and 'IHT' also makes interesting if entirely unsurprising reading. Legal, of course, but then the fact that it's legal has never stopped these hypocrites branding political opponents who've done the very same thing as self serving fat cats has it....

Interesting quote in that article:

the famous verdict of Lord Clyde, the judge in a case brought by the Revenue against a "tax avoider" in 1929:

No man in this country is under the smallest obligation, moral or other, so to arrange his legal relations to his business or to his property as to enable the Inland Revenue to put the largest possible shovel into his stores. The Inland Revenue is not slow – and quite rightly – to take every advantage which is open to it under the taxing statutes for the purpose of depleting the taxpayer’s pocket. And the taxpayer is, in like manner, entitled to be astute to prevent, so far as he honestly can, the depletion of his means by the Revenue.

What do you what to hear, how great it is that the rest of us have to pay more so yet another person can avoid by dubious means.

[LexDiamond]

This current mess isn't the fault of bankers alone. People actually borrowed money couldn't afford to repay and all for yhings they probably didn't need.

If the general population could repay its debts we in all honesty would all be be nowhere near as bad as this.

What I want to hear is the left wingers here who have been ranting on about tax avoidance being as bad as tax evasion acknowledging that perhaps it isn't.....since their own 'leaders' are doing it.......and perhaps acknowledging the monumental hypocrisy of those same left wing leaders.
Too much to ask?.......probably

Yes it is to much to ask as far as I'm concerned, some people want to avoid paying what's due through some very dubious means and you want to use it as a political point scoring exercise, that's why nothing gets done about it, well that and the old your only jealous line that's thrown around willy-nilly at times when it looks like the public might finally have had enough.
