I am saying that the problem arises when people do not pay what they are due....I do not expect them to pay more than they are liable for....just to pay their bills.
It is no secret that some of the richest people in the world shirk this by clever tax avoidance measures...where we the workers pay through the nose as we go....and it is actually us who subsidise them.....

If only a fraction of this money was collected then we would not be in the finacial state we all are now. OK there are some shirkers who live on handouts and that is very wrong....but it pales into insignificance compared top the cons these top companies work to avoid paying tax.....One company I am sorry but I forget their name...actually paid no tax yet made billions in pre tax profit.

Nice of you to insinuate that one of my records could go platinum....LOL.... But in the unlikely event that it did I not only would pay every penny due on it...I would give most of my money away....probably to starving third world people...or to gifted musicians struggling to buy equipment and pay rent. I have no need for riches....I am not extravagent or greedy.....I just need enough to pay my bills and put food on the family table.
