Maybe a daft question, but this nationalise vs privatise argument…
Why don’t we just own 49% (or 1% less than a controlling share) of things? The £47383b profits these companies pay out to shareholders isn’t that awful if we get most of it. 18-05-2024, 08:27 AM in response to #47129 Ste B Wrote: Maybe a daft question, but this nationalise vs privatise argument… We could have just commercialised things instead of selling them off for nothing to people who have no incentive to run them properly. That wouldn't be proper FREEDOM though. 18-05-2024, 08:31 AM in response to #46987
How would a 49% share mean getting most of the profits?!

Hmm, that suggests the shareholders pay at least 2% of their dividends out in tax. I’m not convinced

Only working people actually pay any tax. Let's be honest, we're all mugs.
