How many employees of a plumbing concern are anything like what we would consider "comfortable," though?My experience is the exact opposite! Sociopaths spend most of the evening down the pub, followed by a spot of gratuitous knifing. The wealthy are excessively altruistic. The common oik is more likely to steal the charity collection jar.
The main media in the UK is run by the BBC. And BBC employees are almost entirely posh boys and girls (except for some audience facing, chosen for their common accents). Probably 90% leftie (maybe less, but others too afraid to speak out!). I assume it's a tribal thing...they are left wing but probably aren't really sure why. They are, to misquote Cuch, stuck in a view of the UK from the 1950s where the Conservatives are the baddies. And, of course, Channel 4 with Jon "F**k the Tories" Snow, son of a bishop, grandson of a general, private school. Watch his recent documentary, great insight into the leftie mind, it's all about all the amazing events he's been involved with, and coincidentally the late Queen was also there. The Queen first met him when he was a young boy, and what an honour it was for her.
You should watch that old TV experiment in which the boss of Pimlico Plumbers revealed the salaries of all employees...to see what happened. What happened was nothing like settling "upon a level of compensation for themselves that keeps them comfortable and that otherwise lets everyone else around them do all right." Before the salary reveal they were all happy. And they were happy at the end. Guess why!
Incentivise to do what -- ?PP is not just any plumbing concern!
If you want to incentivise people using tax then the marginal rate needs to decrease with income. There’s probably a nice model balancing incentive and envy.
You know, looking the other direction, I guess it would most incentivise people with low income to figure out their capabilities, and tax them 100% on all their income until they fulfill their potential, and at that point allow them to keep just enough to survive. And maybe their only other compensation would be to avoid the lash.PP is not just any plumbing concern!

Did the economy survive? Did your quality of life decline?When Darling put the marginal rate of income tax up to 50% I stopped taking on new work.
Well, clearly the economy hasn't been the same since.Did the economy survive? Did your quality of life decline?When Darling put the marginal rate of income tax up to 50% I stopped taking on new work.
Well, obviously with a newborn it did ... but I mean otherwise.
You could relocate to the states. Tape a $100 bill to your forehead, and Members of Congress would be interested in you like a dog is interested in bacon.Paul:
It's very kind of you to ask. Darling didn't show any interest whatsoever.
Escort them up to Scapa Flow under the watchful eye of the Royal Navy.The best role for the megayachts might be
I would hate having a yacht. It would require a crew. And I cannot abide “staff.” Nannies, cooks, cleaners, butlers…all destroy my privacy. That’s why this lady is a tramp.The best role for the megayachts might be to hold them hostage, to be returned when the oligarchs turn on Uncle Vlad.
Other than that, they probably end up being scrapped, probably with expenses that outweigh recovery.
Or maybe Paul will make an offer! If the right tax advantages are offered, maybe it could work ...
lol
