Whose money?

On YouTube, lefties are braying that the tax which they allege Vodafone should have paid is 'their' money and they 'want it back'.

*facepalm*

More arsehole rhetoric.

How deeply the Gordon Brown doctrine has embedded itself in public psychology. How easily people have come to believe that they actually own other people's money.

Where, outside a Marxist prayer book, does it say that all money belongs to the state, or as you might prefer, to 'the people'?

No, you fucking idiots, Vodafone's money is not your money. You did not give it to them in the first place so you are not entitled to any of it. It is Vodafone's money. They earned it. Just as you own your own salary. (Bit of an assumption, there, I grant you.)

Even if Vodafone should have paid more tax than they have, which is debatable to put it mildly, it is still their money, not yours.

The state takes people's and companies' own money from them when it taxes them. It is open to individual persons and corporate bodies to dispute the state's demands for their money, which Vodafone did. They have paid what the state required. They are not required to pay a penny more.

The same applies to you, you stupid leftie bastards. Unless of course you think the state owns you and all your worldly goods and you're happy to hand over your last penny to the state, in which case, fuck you.
