    Bernard Keane Retweeted Business Council of Australia

    Maybe you can explain why, despite the cut in the UK company tax rate since 2009, real wages there have fallen & are still below 2007 levelshttps://twitter.com/BCAcomau/status/920789393010434048 …

    Australian workers receive a majority of the benefit of a company tax cut, Bernard. Higher investment means more jobs and higher wages.

        Maybe explain why profits up 40 percent and wages 1.9 percent. CEO bonuses up numbers of underemployed up, underplayed up. No trickle down

        The trickle down is a little bit of wee from their excitement

        Would love to hear an economics professor discuss the proposition that higher investment = higher wages.

        Like to see evidence of prior step - since when have tax cuts led to higher investment? It goes to shareholders, not productive investment

        I had the distinct impression that companies paid the extra profit as dividends to shareholders.

        Oh for Gods' sake this tax cut myth has been tried and failed in the US too. When will we ever learn that self interest trumps facts?

        The Schengen Agreement has allowed 1.5 million low paid workers into the country, undermining British workers. Why Corbyn supports brexit.

        To this day, will not say how he voted in the referendum, which is taken as tacitly admitting he voted Leave
