Budget Predictions
« on: 16 November 2017, 08:39:07 »

I'm not usually that interested in them, but this year I will watch with keen interest.

Hope they may cut/reduce stamp duty, seen few rumours. Suspect it will be for first time buyers only.  :(

My prediction: Things will get worse.

Unless you're penniless, earn minimum wage, or are a first time buyer.

Absolutely. In the absence of any appetite for sensible negotiations, time to start sending some signals. :y

Increase in tractor fuel tax so it costs at least £2 a litre. Won't affect its proper use as it's tax-free and dyed red. :y :y :y

Further tax rises so to feed the unacceptable sense of overentitlement by the non-wealth creating part of the economy so they are paid even more than the wealth-creating productive side where the chancellor lifts the 1% pay cap. >:( >:( >:(

Yes. But if he doesn’t lift the 1% pay cap, the wealth creating whiners will cease to exist as they will not be educated, will die if ill or same result if their house burns down, hopefully with them in it.  :)

We have a very warped sense of 'worth' in this country.

The people who really matter and make a difference, such as nurses, doctors, teachers, care workers, etc..etc are not always treated well.

Then we have the parasite economy. Selfish individuals involved in finance, or unproductive 'celebs' such as footballers and racing drivers. Such people tend to have an inflated opinion of their worth and think the country will fall apart without their contribution. It won't. :)

Don’t forget the new age techies, who sit playing with keyboards all day, shifting numbers back and forth. At the end of the day, the number that they started with has grown...lots.....so their net worth has increased. Nice ‘work’, if you can get it.

Your behind the curve on that one. They don't need lots of them to play with a keyboard any more. They have a super clever new age techie set up an algorithm programme on computers and they then makes their own decisions.
A computer glitch will crash the worlds economy one day in the not too distant future.

Such a theory was mooted years ago, after the ‘flash crash’ on Wall Street. Breakers have now been put in place and trading is halted once a certain limit (usually 10%) has been reached.

Thanks ;)

But assuming you're referring to traders, rather than people who actually keep stuff running, they are just as worried as anyone else about their futures because, sooner or later, computers are going to flat-out replace them (it's already started happening at some firms, in fact).
