You can't simply compare the total GDP of India and the UK. Try comparing the per-capita GDP and then see how we compare.

What about all those countries below India? Many of the sub-Saharan countries are victims of trans-national tax-dodging and their economies are nowhere near as developed as India's

Just to clarify I am with you in wanting tax paid on profits generated in the country they were earned. If that means the tax take here falls so be it - I suspect it would be so be it.

If you compare the GDP per capita Australia is roughly twice as wealthy as us Norway is nearly 3 times as wealthy as us so pretty meaningless in this argument.

If you look at the foreign aid we give out I would suspect a good chunk is given to countries where most global companies would not trade in a serious way e.g. Sub-saharan Africa. We also give >1bn to the world bank, >1bn is spent in Europe.

Do you really think if global companies paid their CT in say Ethiopia or Congo that the general wealth of the population would increase? More likely the Swiss bank accounts of a few despots might.

How is the Reichmark debt going?

What is money?
What is debt?
What is the true value of "goodwill"?
What is a concept?
What is magic?
What is something for nothing AKA Profit?
Why isn't there a global currency?
Why are people still malnourished?
Why are people still dying of thirst?
Why is all "right wing politics" about greed?
Is there any humanity left?
Is now greed the ultimate for human beings to aspire to?
Perhaps it always been this way but with modern methods of communication allied to educating people it appears that the world is a very nasty place and no one wants it to be a nice place especially if "money" is to be made.
You know we are in trouble when a government makes it illegal to catch rainwater, just after they have privatised the water business in their country!

You are a very strange individual with very obtuse views - perhaps a spell in Putin's Russia might help you overcome your misconception about the advantages of Capitalism.

At least we didn't get RIGHT WING in capitals this time for no apparent reason.

Its not.
Hence the millions of people who have water butts in their gardens.

I can't think of many who have the ability to capture enough rainwater on their property to cause a shortage of water amongst their neighbours and a drop in profits at a water company, file this misinformation under "bin" along with the one that says its illegal to completely concrete over your garden as it prevents water soaking away.

It wasn't this country, and no I'm not going to say where. The Information is available if people are interested. I Suspect most are not.

Oh please do explain where I am being obtuse.
Also are you actually capable of answering the questions asked?
Can you see any connection?

I'll hazard a guess you will not understand why!

You have been picked up on the rain water - the point about malnourishment, thirst do I need to go any further - you are just plain bonkers

A couple of desert states in America and some districts in Australia have local legislation to prevent farmers from hoarding rainwater in dams without first being approved so as to prevent their actions from accidentally contaminating the water which is then used on the land and gets into the water table - thats all, its a classic urban myth and conspiracy theory which holds no water at all.

This is necessary for fairness.
