Collect Tax from British Offshore Tax Havens to Fund Free Elderly Care
End tax free status for wealth held in British offshore tax havens to fund free care for the elderly.
Why is this important?
Various governments have had no adequate policy for caring for the elderly in England and Wales, leading to dreadful suffering, as well as strain on the NHS.
Its a moral imperative to change this and bring in the Scottish system that provides non- means tested home care for the elderly. That way, they are safer at home and not bed blocking the N.H.S.
( Community Care & Health ( Scotland) Act 2002.)
The Government says there is no money to pay for the Scottish system of elderly care in England and Wales.
That's because successive governments chose to collude with the corporate elite, rather than care for us.
This also causes too much tax burden paid through P.A.Y.E., which should reduce if the elite loop holes that lose the welfare state budget billions of pounds were closed.
A proper policy to enforce tax collection from British offshore territories, including political support and resources to bring vigorous tax collection cases, would raise billions of pounds for home care and convalescent homes for the elderly as well as fund other public services.
