Can still find £50 million quid a week for the 3rd world boat people mind you……but Farmer Giles not handing over an extra £300,000 is the problem ! lol 

We have to have taxes, it’s how they are spent I object to. I remember when VAT was introduced at the behest of the EU. We were told “ don’t worry , it’s a tax on luxury goods, only milliona

Yeah, it was great under the Tories in the 80's and 90's, especially in villages like mine, one would think they had our best interests at heart, what with shutting down our industries and leaving thousands in search of jobs, the good old days.

was there a better community with more freedoms ? would you rather it like then or now ?

Hahahaha, yeah we had freedom, because no cnut had a job! Fantastic stuff mate. You're looking at it through a child's eyes. Now look at it from a father's perspective, mid 80's, you're made unemployed, Christmas coming up, three kids, struggling to make ends meet, do you think you would give a toss about 40 years down the line where you might have less "freedom?"

What is the benefit? I presume every man hates tax as much as the next man, but how else do you we suggest we raise revenue?

I’m assuming you know off “the Laffer Curve” ?

There comes a point when the tax rate gets up to a percentage  that the tax revenue actually falls.

You can only tax people or business to a point when they say it’s not worth it and either work less to drop into a lower tax bracket or move their assets to a tax haven or a country with a less oppressive tax regime.

So the “taxing the rich ‘till the pips squeak” is counter productive once it reaches a certain level .

Cheers.

We are raising record revenue, so I’ll ask again, what will be the added benefit ?…..do you see this record revenue doing wonders in your community ?

Well no shit, that's a given as our population is at its highest, still, our tax revenue is less than the developed countries in the EU. But, yes, you have a point, the taxes we raise clearly aren't doing a good enough job, my solutions, I don't know, but I do know we will suffer the brunt whatever is done.

You must have veg for brains, "it's alright love, I know I lost my job down the pit but at least I've got mi allotment and mi lurcher." Lol

I can't believe the thousands of miners who lost their jobs tried to find work after such a blessing. Lol

So, no benefit then…..except to make someone else a bit poorer.

Brilliant ! lol
