The Money Podcast The Dark Side of Government Debt - Ant Middleton
Join Rob in this excerpt from his recent interview with Former host of SAS Who Dares Wins Ant Middleton. They discuss why tax in the UK is out of control, the dangers it poses and the solutions to living in the current system as a high earner.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There is very little keeping the wealthiest in the UK, there aren’t many direct benefits to the amount of tax they pay.
- Ant has no issues with paying taxes but the amount now for high earners is extremely high, sometimes over 50% once everything is calculated.
- The UK government has a part to play for there being a lack of billionaires and corporations in this country, they don’t want to be based here because of the tax implications.
- It doesn’t matter what you own, if the government want to they can take it from you.
- Whilst Ant knows he could live on £30k a year, he also now knows he is capable of earning more, so why would he not go out and do so?
BEST MOMENTS
"What am I getting from the government that’s going to keep me in this country?”
“Two to three quarters of what you earn is spent on tax”
“I can’t change the system but what I can do is work my way into a better one, a better way of life”
“Nothing actually really belongs to you”
“Money is just numbers”
