What your Ladybird book of Successful Business Management probably doesn't mention is the fact that a very large number of people on minimum wage, working for supermarkets (which together are the second largest employer after the NHS) are dependent on tax credits (which is paid for by taxpayers, and most of which comes from individuals not from companies). The likes of Tesco are paying a large proportion of their workforce less than a living wage and "we" are subsidising their profits.
Then the bstrds don't do the decent thing by paying their whack.
So please don't try to make out that they are saving on tax in order to pay their employees, because that's total bollox.
Freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice. Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality.

For the 4th time, staff costs should be covered by turnover, not profits. Do you think Tesco don't factor the costs of having people work for them into the price they sell things for?
How does a not-for-profit organisation operate in Dallyworld? Presumably on the goodwill of staff who realise that they'll never be paid.
I have never said wages are paid "out of profits" indeed I explicity said the opposite.

As to your points:
1. The Labour party distorting the workings of the free market.
2. Have you evidence they don't pay their true tax liability?

You said "If the companies were taxed more heavily that would mean they had less avaiable to pay wages."
In the context of Vodafone and Tesco the tax that they've been "let off" was on profits. They would clearly not be paying the wages from profits, so how would they suddenly have less money for wages if taxed on profits?

Both wages and tax (and dividends) need to be paid by CASH though.
