No the existence of complex tax systems with loopholes and political vote buying has a direct correlation to poverty. The billionaires don't pay much tax because the business they own contribute far more to the economy and tax base than any individual no matter how wealthy. Perhaps if we shut down the obvious scam that is modern art and parasitic "charities" we could easily afford better public services. The basic idea was good if an individual or company made charitable contributions they could write that money off as a tax deduction. Unfortunately this led to the proliferation of " charities" which exist solely to profit from this windfall. Why do you think Bill gates switched all his assets from Microsoft to his own charity which he uses to fund lobbyists and promote his politics. Everyone complains about Elon ignoring Gates and Soros pumping millions which they should be paying as taxes into political campaigns and "research" which always seems to get results which support their goals.

"Debit" cards mean something different in the UK. There are Debit cards (take money from bank account) and separately Credit cards (put it on Credit to pay off later). I've heard that in America sales assistants take a card and ask whether you want it processed as Debit or Credit, But that doesn't happen in the UK. A card can do one or the other. Not both.

First Past The Post: country divided up into constituencies. Everyone votes. Within each constituency the candidate with the most votes wins, meaning that a candidate who most people in that constituency voted AGAINST can still win the seat since they have the plurality of votes, eg 30% of the votes vs 70% divided up between 4 other candidates (ie: not the majority of votes!). This means that over the whole country, the % of seats a party might win is nowhere near the % of total votes they received

Stamp duty is a tax that has been in existence for centuries, originally it was used to raise money for the war in the 1600's but has since become a standard tax..it is charged as a percentage of the cost of the property being bought, over a certain threshold, by the buyer. Our infrastructure, public services such as police, fire, leisure centres, libraries, street lighting, roads et al, are covered by a different tax called Council Tax, which is not a one off but a monthly payment that is paid by everyone regardless of whether you own property (although the amount you pay is still calculated on the band price that the property you reside at, is in) Personally, I feel that if they are still going to charge stamp duty, they should scrap inheritance tax, it's appalling that someone works all their life to build a home and have something to hand down to their children, for the government to then swoop in on your death and grab a lump of that properties value for themselves...double dipping the greedy buggers!!! 🇬🇧

First past the post (FPTP) is a good thing. It prevents small niche groups from having an outsized effect on UK politics. Here's an example why... Israel used to be under British control and their law is based on British law, they have proportional representation which is the alternative to FPTP and what happens is that the centre right and centre left battle it out in elections but often neither get an outright majority so they have to team up with either the hard right or hard left in order to win. The centrist parties are essentially blackmailed into introducing extremist policies in order to get the support of the small extremist parties. While (to pick one wing as an example) the centre right do not support the antagonistic policies of the hard right they are put in a position where they have to implement them or lose the elections entirely. This results in policies which no-one but a few extremists wanted being implemented. To translate that to the UK it works mean the conservatives accepting BNP policies in order to win. The BNP might only get 2 or 3% of the vote but their horrific policies get implemented anyway. It seems exclusionary, and it is... But for good reason, I don't want to live somewhere that the extremist nutters get to dictate and enforce their extremist views upon the majority of normal and good centrist people.

Who the dickens is James Corden? No-one minds paying for toilets in stations and shopping malls or othe public conveniences - they are cleaned immaculately. Where there are no charges they are not.

Plater is a typo

you can be charged for cash machines but it has to be obvious that there is a charge before you withdraw the money . these are usually in places where there is no competition from other ATMs as you call them such as temporary ones . you rarely get charged for making debit card purchases or getting cash back because this is really a cash payment ; the account the debit card is used from should have enough credit in it or it's likely to be refused . they mainly use visa or mastercard to transfer the money . A credit card is as it says ; so you are buying on credit and it is charged to your account at the end of the month ; if not paid in full within an agreed date say 25 days you will be charged interest . Taking out cash on a credit card is very expensive there is a charge say 2.5% and then interest daily until the account is paid off in full .

I'm 80% cash...sadly I need the card for subscriptions. I did use Amazon once in lockdown. My order arrived missing a load of parts!

I think that Plater is a spelling mistake, should be a Platter?

Most cash machines don't charge you for withdrawing cash, do they? I don't have a credit card, so I don't know if you get charged for using them? The ones that do must be few and far between. Likewise, I've never been charged for using my debit card, ever, anywhere.

Ever considered that the poverty and the existence of billionaires might be - yaknow - linked somehow? "Inequality" I believe it's called.

Going down the rabbit hole that is "Electoral Systems".... both the US and UK use first past the post (except Presidential, where it's gerrymandered with the electoral college system), the difference lies in voter registration, to my knowledge in the UK registration is permanent and you are required to notify changes to the electoral commission, in the US it's a new enrolment for every election, and in either system there is no requirement to vote. Compare that to Australia, with a preferential voting system, compulsory enrolment and voting. In all three systems there are grounds of ineligibility to vote: incarceration, non-resident (non-citizenship), incapacity, or religious grounds.

We have several times got rid of low denomination coins. There was a half farthing (1/8 penny) until 1869, a farthing (1/4 penny) until 1961. Then in 1969 we got rid of the halfpenny and in 1971 of ALL our coins and replaced them with a new system. The old penny was replaced by the new penny but the value of the new penny was 2.4 old pennies so you could say that we got rid of our lowest denomination although the new denomination had the same name. some coins remained in use a bit longer but with the new value, for example the old sixpence coin stayed in circulation till 1980 with its new value of two and a half new pence. Confused? So were a lot of people at the time though the hundred pence in a pound is clearly a simpler system. Of course the problem with, say getting rid of pennies is that everything then gets rounded up up the next nearest so anything that was, say, 16, 17, 18 0r 19 pence is now 20 pence. Then to maintain differentials everything that was t20 gets rounded up to 25 and ultimately the price of everything is driven up though you don't have more money to pay for it. Also, if you have equipment capable of watching ANY live broadcast TV including live broadcasts on a streaming service you must legally have a TV license.
