Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

You ask below how cutting funding makes the rich get richer.

When there isn't enough money in the pot you have two choices, you cut back on spending or you find a way to increase revenue.

The Tories chose "Austerity" over taxation hitting the poorest and the weakest in our society.
Cutting back on all the services that are vital to the small groups that use them, rehab centres, day centres for the mentally ill, humiliating the disabled with means tests so and so on.
Which has lead to what the original thread was about, the distruction of our Town centres.

Would it not have been preferable to say "do you know what there are a lot of people doing rather well let's ask them if they wouldn't mind contributing a little bit more for the good of all".

They not only ignored that possibility but put things in place for the rich to get richer whilst lining their own pockets with all the scams during covid.

If you give the lowest earners more money they spend it, helping the economy. If you give the rich more they bank it and then fuck off to sun themselves somewhere else so they don't have to contribute to the country that gave them the opportunity to earn it in the first place.
