@RockChartrand Grew up poor, worked my way to, let's just saying doing well.

Growing up I watched those around me game the system. It's got worse since I got out.

Welfare state is unsustainable

Throwing tax money at inefficient organisations is unsustainable

Immigration is unsustainable

[AB @Braytown]

@BuzzPatterson @JDVance That's unacceptable

[AB @Braytown]

@Devon_Eriksen_ Brilliant

[AB @Braytown]

@puggled29 Yes, you have a very individual and simplistic view. I have higher standards for my country.

[AB @Braytown]

@omgsidewalks Take a risk, build a business, you'll find out.

Let's not forget about everything that's subsidised for the those who need it by those who create more money, jobs, you name it.

The Government doesn't pay for it, the private sector does.

We all have the freedom of choice.

[AB @Braytown]

@KonstantinKisin Yep

[AB @Braytown]

@Peston Normal people have had enough of the PC mentality. My preference is people who tell it like it is, no ducking and diving around issues.

Maybe not a UK Trump, but something close, is the change we need.

Argue otherwise, but we're getting worse sticking with the status quo.

[AB @Braytown]

@puggled29 What's the limit?

To save you qualifying further... How much tax are you willing to pay to a Governments who continually waste it?

Do you just keep accepting tax after tax with worse and worse results?

[AB @Braytown]

@kevinnbass He's got some ego even releasing statements, as if anyone gives a crap about what he has to say.

[AB @Braytown]

@Sarahhuniverse Truly pathetic.

I have a team, some of whom earn more than me

I take all the risk, put the blood, sweat and tears in growing the business. One day, I'll cash in, for now I live on what I need.

So, do I take all the risk, grow it, pay my staff well and then just give it away?

[AB @Braytown]

@NickCohen4 Yeh it's astounding how these career politicians are fiercely competitive and aggressive when it comes to their own careers. I'm all for it. Shame their idiotic socialist policies are contrary to that energy

[AB @Braytown]

@AllisonCGardner The lack of awareness of the echo chamber you live in is genuinely astounding.

This is precisely where you're getting it wrong. The country is much bigger than those in your immediate circle or the constituency that voted you in.

[AB @Braytown]

@patsynotanumber @bmay Let's start with "immigration is controlled". Really? Assuming your sandpit has a comfortable imprint of your head.

[AB @Braytown]

@augusteprompt It feels like we're at boiling point and the heat is being turned up.

I full expect something bad to happen. Expect events like yesterday to increase.

[AB @Braytown]

@patsynotanumber @bmay A good Brexit: swift clean exit, global FTAs (US/India), deregulation, immigration control.
Good gov't: bold reforms, cut red tape, boost innovation

[AB @Braytown]

@LibertyCappy The entire political system is fundamentally flawed. It was set up for a bygone era and needs to be ripped to shreds and rebuilt to suit the modern era.

[AB @Braytown]

@puggled29 I'm happy to pay some if it's spent wisely but the reality is, inept gov after inept gov tax more and waste more.

[AB @Braytown]

@puggled29 I was poor, I now run a business and have 5 kids of my own fully paid for by me.

I earn a lot and get taxed far too much.

So, why should my high earnings be spread to people who game the system, rather than stay in my family and go to my kids?
I'm not privileged, it's earned.

[AB @Braytown]

@puggled29 Calm down, at no point did I say get rid of it.

Explain - someone who gets DLA for having a naught child, how do I report that? They allowed it. Don't make excuses without context, it's as simple as I describe.

Decision making on benefits is pathetic.
