They say that about rappers all the time too until they want a new media darling to parade around

That guy that was holding up Boris Johnsons severed head is a mysogonist now

wonder how they quantify "job shortage"

I would like them add a salary of like 50k and above and tie it to shortage occupation and add more points to that too

Yeah the only vague part is shortage

I'd like a concrete figure

But good overall

It won't reduce numbers of immigrants

what was the figure for people who are net takers?

like what is the income of someone who is a net taker

https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-2215070/Are-contributor-burden-nations-finances--Squeezed-middle-increasingly-dependent-state.html

Arent most people net takers

If you factor in everything

Depends

Not sure if it's most people

I think it's 27k

at this report

http://www.thecommentator.com/article/1760/over_half_of_uk_households_are_net_beneficiaries_of_the_state

Its way higher than 27 due the vast amounts of tax the higher earners submit, but the system is disjointed.

@oblongy net takers vs net payers based on effective tax rate my dude

so it's working out what their effective tax rate is

on that page, anyone below ~27k effective tax rate is below 0

i think

going to look for better graphs now 🔍

Figures don't make sense

i'm just repeating what i'm reading

It is hard to unravel due to the tax system

https://factcheckni.org/facts/are-only-3-out-of-12-regions-net-contributors-to-the-uk-treasury/

also interesting

You also have to factor in structured benefits and privaleges, which often bring the net beneficiary income to much higher. It's a system to screw the middle class and both ends

*laughs in technically southeast even though where i am should clearly be southwest*

*at both ends

*...or just south*

@oblongy I think when things get functionally unanswerable due to things like police usage and nhs usage they average things out

to make the question easier to answer
