Iran is charging $1 per barrel. At the current Brent price of ~$80/barrel, that is 1.25%.
So the US is proposing to charge a fee that is 16x the Iranian fee.
A lot of people are missing the point here.
The 40% tax threshold was £43,875 in 2010.
Today it’s £50,270.
An increase of just £6,395 in 16 years.
If it kept pace with inflation, it would be closer to £75,000 today!
POTUS is absolutely right. Whoever provides secure and safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz should be compensated for this service.
Iran has always been the GUARDIAN of the Strait and will remain so FOREVER.
20% is of course too much. We will be fair
The UK’s 40% tax rate was meant for the wealthy.
Now nearly 1 in 5 taxpayers pay it. In the 1990s it was closer to 1 in 30.
At what point does a “tax on the rich” become a tax on people with a good salary rather than real wealth?
