      …They literally are in some scenarios.

      When Cameron’s Government “closed” the tax avoidance loopholes in 2014(?) they went to my sister’s boyfriend at the times firm which literally finds ways for multimillionaire/billionaires to not pay tax to close the loop holes but enable other means to remain functional.

      Like this firm made millions purely from helping billionaires avoid tax, they aren’t going to give up their income source because the government gave them a few thousand to act as consultants on the new bill being drafted.

      They were consulted so the government at the time could “close the loopholes” and discretely open up others.

      In the same way that (IIRC) regarding the conversion therapy ban, it was pointed out that there were loopholes left in when the bill was drafted.
