I live in the UK, I just visited my family in Japan & I wanted to share a few observations I made whilst I was there, pack of 20 cigarettes UK £14 Japan £4, 5 litres of whiskey UK £60 Japan £19, iPhone UK £799 Japan £659, Japan also has kei/city cars which are cheap vehicles with automatic transmission, speed limiters, cheaper fuel & insurance, readily available cheap spare parts, you in the UK are being ripped off!.

The Uk is more than an Economy. Our culture and heritage and customs have been completely changed and not for the better.

Economy was ruined decades ago when our wealth creating manufacturing base was abandoned.

The Country goes into recession and the Government spends money like crazy, no accountability to anyone. That’s the problem with this Country the no accountability for anything, after the last few years I am just done with it, the things that happened and no one held to account. One law for them and one for us. The class system needs to stop, there is better qualified people that should be in these jobs, we are scrapping the barrel with what represents us.

If you add all together 21% income tax vat council tax and all other taxes on fuel alcohol and cigarettes you're paying 70% tax. System is not falling and it's not failing people. It's been designed this way. Taxes are ment to keep you poor, weak and government dependent

Wow! What a brilliant guest, Dominic is such a knowledgeable and captivating personality. Brilliant podcast. I wish I had this amount of knowledge.

Brilliant. Dominic is a hero.

Calculated from all the layers of tax we pay, I think Dominic has underestimated the amount we pay government through taxation. It's more like 65% than 'just over 50'.

Dodging from one country to another is out of the realms of the vast majority of people,

Dominic is a bit of an all-rounder - nowhere else can you get a handful of jokes, a smattering of song and a UK financial report all in one night.

The reasoning offered for billionaires not being tax as their company is not uk based is scandalous, if they wish to rake billions out of our economy we could charge a percentage tariff on every pound they charge customers in addition to all lobbying payments made being paid directly to the treasury instead of being paid into MPs offshore accounts

Such a good interview! Great questions and ever greater answers. Thanks Rob and Dominic!

What a guest!

I think taxes are part and parcel of living in a thing called society. It seems the most sensible way of funding the military, and financing infrastructure construction. All that said, I would like to see much tighter control over spending. The armed forces and NHS waste money like crazy, and the government solve every immediate problem by throwing our money at it, hoping it will go away.. Wastefulness always occurs when spending is not overseen by a sensible non public servant run committee. Our big problem is that we waste big money on trivia and penny pinch on all the important stuff.

Excellent interview, detailed, accurate, well thought out, insightful. Now we need a solution to bring government control and over reach back in line. If it ever was. We need to own more of the value of our hard work, blood sweat, and tears!

Excellent interview.Well balanced.

This is already fantastic and I haven’t pressed play yet 😊

Hi Rob you are by far the best podcast on KZfaq 👍🏻❤️

The things I've been accused of for speaking against income tax! So refreshing to hear a real freemarket economist explain the truth so well. Now how do we get there?

Rob Moore, Dominic Frisby two of my favourite KZfaqrs excellent interview

I was on board until he hit his talking points about Russia. I honestly thought this fella would be better than that.

Dom is a legend

Fantastic interview. Nice job! So many good point addressed that you will not hear the media talking about. Thanks.

The idea the Internet was provided by the Free Market is bollocks. IP was designed and produced in DARPA in the Public sector along with just about every other modern technological breakthrough.

No electricity = No internet = No digital currency transactions. Do not underestimate the govt's ability to shut down the national/international power grids. Gold coins of the realm (in UK) are free of both CGT and VAT.

Because its pissing me off 😂 you spend so much time informing us with great info from a lot of amazing people. Thank you man.. thank you

The thing I’ve notice most over the years is that people spend there time in the pub talking about how to avoid /minimise tax and rarely about how to maximise their earnings. Says it all, we are stuck on a downward spiral.

First of all, a great video and very insightful. Never noticed before, but Rob really reminds me of Kenneth Williams in this one!

Always liked Dominic but only ever saw him on GB news first . Nice guy and agree with everything. Thumbs up from me and a new subscriber 🇬🇧👍

Dominic is one of the cleverest men on the planet!

I agree with a lot of this, but can someone please explain how you could have a free market. Without monopolies and crony capitalism? Rail for example it would not be possible to lay multiple lines of track, the destruction of land would be obscene and the cost would be so high no private company would be able to make a profit. It's the same with the national grid. I could go on and on.

6:25 - that is incorrect; it's worse than that! The Medieval serfs were not descended from Roman slaves, they were descended from Roman citizens! Citizens who, due to the concentration of power and wealth by the state and elites, had been gradually reduced to serfs. That is the lesson, that is what must be avoided at all costs.

this is very good.

Great interview I agree with you both

However, it is important to recognize that economic systems can face challenges and struggle to meet the needs of all individuals and communities. Addressing these challenges and promoting sustainable economic growth requires a multi-faceted approach that considers factors such as income inequality, access to education and healthcare, and the impact of environmental factors.

Insightful.

"The wealthier people get, the better they behave" One of the most ridiculous assertions ever made. Some points are interesting, others are just bizarre

Not only extremely well informed but highly articulate too! Some great guests recently Rob!

Dangerous speak this. I love it!

Again, uncontrolled mass immigration is not considered as the root of Englands failure of government services for our taxes. Over the past 20 years, taxpayers have to pay taxes to support 10 million immigrants who have never paid into the tax system.

It's not just the unfair taxes - it's the licenses for every single damn thing that we do. Certificates for Birth, Death & Marriage. Dog licenses, Fishing licenses; Gun Licenses. Then there is an excessive number of house or sale purchasing and transfer paid hoops and certificates we have to go through for everything we buy and sell or invest. When I see a Chancellor of The Exchequer declaring a Budget - I don't see a Gentleman of Honour ... I see a high ranking criminal racketeer announcing his latest rinky-dinky schemes to steal from us. We are cattle just existing to be branded and milked. furnishing a special privileged society that has no access to us. Just think if we just removed all this yoke of usury and theft. If we just said no! Imagine the freedom and growth of our society. It makes me weep how our so-called Masters ruthlessly socially engineer and ruthlessly control our lives purely to better their own.

I think a lot of people who never had a problem with tax are slowly beginning to feel resentful at present. We don’t see any of it & the social contract is well & truly broken. We are being absolutely had.

Jesus wasn't crucified for refusing to give tribute to Caesar, he said render to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's. The Jewish rulers could not cope with him claiming to be the Son of God.

And they brought it on themselves! Amazing!

How do i buy in gold

When I was in UK. I saw empty boarded up streets under a constant grey sky, litter everywhere. Homeless people sleeping in doorways. Opioid addicts out of their mind and women so drunk they urinated on the streets. It's a sad declined country

" Taxes are the price you pay for civil society " @ Oliver Wedel Holmes. Note that he said CIVIL NOT CIVILISED!

Great to see Rob School Dominic on the reality that most folks do not and prolly will not be using Cryptos. Cash MUST stay King. The industry hasn't exactly got a pristine record & is rife with criminality. Otherwise great interview.

Great interview, hate the jacket 😂

I recently spoke to a woman at the tax office about my private pension she informed me that she had no information about my one off pension on her computer screen I told her that I had been receiving this pension for quite a number of years, and was paying tax on the said pension, I also said I had issues with my monthly private pension where she informed me that I was £2 in arrears, now they get their hands on both my pensions before me so I asked how was I in arrears, she couldn't answer me but she said we will not pursue it, in conclusion I had to laugh because it just shows the incompetence of the people that are employed by the irs

when was this filmed????? mentioned BTC was crashing even though its up 80% on the NOV '22 lows.......

29:40. Gold!

Tax is the price we pay for not being civilised enough. No truly civilised society would base their means of funding things on extortion.

How do we change things? Simple 1. Defund the government. Get rid of the first and second chambers completely. 2. Install an internet / blockchain system of government, where every citizen can vote on issues raised by any citizen. Airtime would be given to live streams of argument and set times of voting would be announced. Blockchain technology would be used to verify a fair and democratic vote. 3. Defund the police. Allow citizens to defend their property by any means. Those would be a starting point.

I'm a musician, get paid in cash,don't pay taxes directly to government but I laugh,quite rightly,when people accuse me of dodging taxes,that's impossible and this chat confirms it.

A return now to a stable economy without QE, with normal interest rates (after a 13-year near-zero rate), house prices returning to normal (4 times average salary) affordable levels. Debt doesn't go away.

Follow the Money

On point with the diagnosis, completely riddiculous contradictory BS in the solutions. He says the internet is an example of free market capitalism, but it isn't it has laws that strictly regulate it such that market forces don't disadvantage smaller competitors, it is also a tech that was conceived with public money. As were computers, as were many of the innovations we rely on today, public money. He says the wealth of Bill Gates in built on patents and crony capitalism, but then says that that sort of wealth shouldn't be taxed. He says he supports the free market, but no market is free, what defines property and intellectual property, legislation, the rules of the game, not the free market, you can't claim one is and one isn't both only exist as they pertain to legislation. On fiat currency he misunderstands that tax is the critical feature that gives them value, and claims that the gold standard is preferrable, when the reason it was scrapped is because it warps supply and demand in the natural market, since as a real asset, it has intrinsic value separate from the ascribed value of the market. He claims if you left the market to do it's thing that competition would drive prices, but he does not address the tendancy towards greater market concentation, and how market concentration drives prices up, not down beyond a certain point. He claims healthcare would be cheaper in a free market, yet the country with the freest market in health, the US is a shitshow when it comes to pricing. Also yes 100 years ago we had far lower taxes, but most people didn't have access to healthcare, legal aid, public pensions etc. You can't look at just what you put in you have to look at what you get out, yes some people put in more, but they receive more from the system that is the arbriter of their wealth, they pay more because they have more to loose, they have more stake so they pay more for that stake. Ultimately in a unregulated market, might makes right, and being right entitles you to more might, it is not sustainable nor desireable. Furthermore there is a claim that the national debt has to be paid off sooner or later, this is a myth, yes in your personal account that is true, but a national econnomy functions completely differently because it lacks the temporal and physical bounds of a single human life, the national economy is a different entity entirely, an individual cannot expect to get more productive ad infinitum, a national economy can, at least effectively (i.e. to the point the system is no longer relevant). This guy lacks basic comprehension of the economics to prescribe any solution, the take is laughable.

I’m freelance and guess what I’ve no idea if I’ll have any work tomorrow! And didn’t get any support over Covid zero!

I agree with Frisbee about stuff like patents being crony capitalism and thats how people like gates become billionaires and stiffle markets. And private providers could educate the population and build our roads. However, having the whole world use the same operating system windows probably made things more efficient and standardized education like wise

Only 50%?? Here in Holland and Belgium it is around 80% when you calculate everything (VAT, contributions, income tax and the many other taxes).

Love this guy he’s the English Jeff Berwick Dollar vigilante- far more appealing

Thoughts on bitcoin to solve the money problems we face?

@ min 35 : “ Not have the Gov. running them……” and yet…when the Gov. farms them out ….like the railways…..with one company to maintain the tracks, and another to run the trains………we have trains coming off the rails……and absurdly high ticket prices.

He's an intersting soul is Mr Frisby, interesting chat but please stop trying to portray Gates as a good guy, it's getting creepy!

Compulsory ? Are you sure? Obligatry ? Wheres the contract ? Wheres the signature?

What is a fairer more stable society. That of Norway or a Dubai/Brazil/USA

Taxes only exist for poor working class people Sooner people wake up and unite and end this system the better. Problem is we all distracted these days and nobody gives a fuck I 100% know I'm depressed lack motivation mainly due to the system and it's barriers that's in place for working class people Hell I'm not even allowed to have my own place to live because minimum wage doesn't cover the costs these days of private properties and we all know social houses just aren't there anymore (by design) I honestly feel people don't realise how bad of a deal we get now days. But don't forget we also have a record number of billionaires in this country and our politicians we elect to serve us feel £80k a year isn't enough to live off.

So the Russian army is hopeless? Nato was training Ukrainian soldiers for 8 years and the Russian kill rate is around 7-1 with 500,000 Ukrainian soldiers either dead or injured, you just proved you know nothing! LOL

There should be reverse taxation to motivate people work OT. UK system support poor, uneducated folks that are willing to have as small tax as possible plus social security.

Taxation and the spending of, has to be fully accountable to the people who fund it..........My big question is why are we paying Millions and Millions for benefits to non disabled, people of working age. Cut the benefits to relieve the tax burden.

Why don't we charge a licence fee to multinational companies that don't pay corporation tax.

We have thefes in power full of hate for us the people.

No one will be due too high if they did take few month save up again

It's a system for the rich it's like we didn't already know this

so no tax the presumably no governmant and bancruptcy, so how do you think you will survive exactly,

I agree with him, but I really hate to say it and it’s only because of the job I do, so I know. People don’t want to work anymore, plain and simple.

20:00

what's with the GIMP fashion statement

The difference between the government and the mafia, the mafia had moral framework !

This is why the Tory party has introduced the new ID vote .they know that most young labour supporters won’t fill the forms where they know there is a swing to Labour.

But why did it spiral?Greed? Technology? Horrible humans??

What does it matter that you only keep 50% of your income when having the other 50% wouldn't meaningfully affect your health or happiness?

Billy boys husband malignant , sorry i mean Malinda left him because she said in a interview it was because he was uncomfortable with his relationship with Geoff .

The tax portions are good and well argued but the lame hypothesis on geo politics, Gates , Russia etc, I'm afraid that's just 'bloke in the pub stuff' If you haven't properly researched it why hypothesise with such conjecture.

He should study anarcho capitalism. It's not disorder, it's actually highly efficient, nature and human affirming. It's not a bunch of nutjobs. It's generally people who genuinely think through and want the best system that doesn't treat human beings like parasites, while they feed on us! Anarchy means we design the system ourselves and implement it, rather than this monopoly of violence. We finally grow up and take our place in human society instead of abdicating our responsibilities and depending on the cancer who throughout history only consumes it's host. Abolish the trustocracy, economic and political slavery! It's time for the people to amputate injustice. Free the people!

Inflation tax

What kind of society do all of you want to live in?

11:42 that doesn’t happen though because it is a natural monopoly. The sunk costs are too great. Economics101

Hiya mate, this is golden. Can I send you my essay. It explains how we can stop paying taxes and reclaim our land in traditional common law. Let me explain. Rather than the Queen and King working for the people, they have flipped the contract and through our birth certificate we have signed ourselves up to the Crown corporation as a citizen in Roman and Greek law. We are no longer human beings living on the land, we are foreigners and dead at sea in common law which is why we get taxed on everything for damaging the land. This is trust law mate and we have found our way out. What I find about his research though is all based on the current history of London Parliament and only applied to landlords who were given land by the Queen who took it under livery of seisin. It's like the drug dealers we have today owning the patch they cover. Drug dealers live by their own code just like the royals did it doesn't mean all of us worship the drug dealers does it? Most of us don't associate with those types of people. So, if they kept recorded history they could claim they had taken over Britain. They did, they sold drugs all over the country. But it didn't mean we all accepted it and agreed to it. This is the history of the Royal family and the taxes they enforced on their dealers, their land Lords. He clearly has no idea how the world works lol

Definition of government. "A smarm of self authorised criminals."

Cheap energy is key,a flash in the pan it was

It amazes me that Rob hasn’t dove down the rabbit hole yet

Not working so hard to reduce tax. Best way.

all thats left is for home and land owners, to repay that 4 trillion of debt. or lose it all.

if you shave this guy its basically darren brown

Looking in shape rob. Must be training hard

Bitcoin might end up going the same way as Esperanto. 🤔

Your Russian comment was so out of touch it was laughable..

Nationalised is the way to go.
