MP Hypocrites - Yes Margaret Hodge, This Means YOU.

OK this could almost be funny. Margaret Hodge is asking people to boycott Amazon due to tax avoidance. They have only paid 0.1% tax this year. This is a criminal act in my mind but asking us to avoid Amazon - really??! Is that the best she can offer?

Let's be clear - tax avoidance started under LABOUR BUT continues under the COALITION. I am very angry that Margaret Hodge has the cheek to complain when it was under her governance that this started. I am equally mad that he only response is a boycott. Look at the poster below! This is HMRC's response to the man on the street for not paying tax. We owe pennies compared to big business earning billions. A 20% tax on one billion is £200 million. Amazon have not paid there share of tax over at least the last 7 years, from what I have heard. Surely a poster similar to the below but aimed at Amazon would at least be better than asking us to avoid them!! How about an extra tax at source on everything bought at Amazon? Now that sounds better and it would help competition with the High Street.
