"Corbyn is good at saying what he'd do, less good at saying where the money would come from - my fear is that he'd tax people like me, who have clawed our way up to a tolerable lifestyle, even more - and I'm not willing for that to happen."
The money comes from the same place quantitative easing came from ex nihilo, out of nothing, good for the banks, good for everyone else. Why can it be created to buy bonds from financial institutions but not to invest in things that actually benefit the economy rather than just the city. BTW £375 billion of the country's debt of the £1.1 trillion is in bonds bought by quantitative easing, meaning that we own our own debt throught the BOE and we've spent money to boost the banks.
So if you understand economics, spending it on stuff that creates jobs, which stimulates aggeragate demand, and stuff that builds infrastructure, which extends the productive capacity of the economy means that short term and long term growth are going to be achieved. MUCH MUCH better than spending a third of our national debt stimulating the financial sector.
"I think longtimelurker101, and another poster has proven the point as to why conservative voters are reluctant to participate in discussion as it's automatically assumed they need educating."
No , this is not the case, when conservative voters have a viable argument it will stand up, make your case, I will ( and have) conceed points. Until then don't say its cause of "bullying".Oh, and I've included articles from the telegraph and the mail as evidence in my arguments.
"ThisIMO is the reason why no reasoned political discussion is ever had and you don't hear from the right leaning vote, I admit I have made broad brush statements as well, but I've been here for years and seen it to many times."
Rubbish, the right pontificate on here lots, the benefit blamers threads abound, don't start the poor persucuted me stuff, it won't wash.
