thinking balance rich
Just as we should never balance the budget on the backs of the poor, so it is an economic delusion to think you can balance it only on the wallets of the rich.
country thinking law
I was shocked to see that some of the very wealthiest people in the country have organised their tax affairs, and to be fair it's within the tax laws, so that they were regularly paying virtually no income tax. And I don't think that's right.
pay tax-evasion target
We will also target tax evasion and off-shore tax havens... Everyone must pay their share.
thinking people support
The British people think that if someone is disabled, then they should get all the care and support that we can offer.
strong thinking people
I think the British people have a strong sense of what is fair.
people looks misery
Well look, no one takes pleasure from people making money out of the misery of others, but that is a function of capitalist markets.
christmas cutting should
Tax cuts should be for life, not just for Christmas.

We Greeks want change. We know there are problems in our system. We have great potential but we need to manage our country well. Now that hasn't been done over the last decades. And that is, of course, what we are paying for.
people effort greek
Very often, people will come out and say, 'Greeks aren't doing things, Greeks aren't making changes, there's no reform,' That is hogwash. We have made a huge effort. The Greek people have made a huge effort.
