A reminder, Andy, of the Thatcher era:
• Income tax: 83% → 40%
• Basic rate: 33% → 25%
• Inflation: 21.9% peak (1980) → 2.4% (1986)
• Days lost to strikes: 29.5 million (1979) → 1.9 million (1990)
• Real pay for the average earner: up by a third
@robprogressive And remember the risk is not low. 73% of trading212's customers lose money trading CFDs for example. Stick to more regular investments and inflation actually eats away a significant portion of the 'gains' you are taxed on.
"90% support it"
Yeah in the same way dictators "win" elections - its a made up stat; the survey was publicly available and there was NO way to say no lol
