    The UK cut company tax from 30% to 19% in the period since 2008. UK wages growth has been NEGATIVE for most of that time and is negative again now. You're lying.https://twitter.com/BCAcomau/status/928067164598185984 …

        There's also a push to cut wages, cub, streets, penalty rates, transport etc + tax evasion. you cannot keep enriching the rich without stomping on the poor. And they wonder why retail sales are stagnant.

        @BCAcomau really important that a decrease in tax does actually increase wages growth and jobs - where is that evidence?

        We are family farmers, we sell on a world market, our competitors pay 19% tax, we would like to do the same, our input costs are already much higher, level of government help much less, margins much slimmer #levelplayingfield#primeag#sustainableag

        Lower tax rate works with cost cutting by companies. TOTALLY fits in with less wages paid and justification of bullshit wages for CEOs.

        Yes, but that's because unemployment was at 8% for that period. And also company tax revenue actually increased with the cut.
