The bottom feeders would still be the ones suffering with even worse services. We are still relatively well off compared to many countries, how low would you be willing to accept for a bit more cash in your pocket instead of the system?

So are non of your other suggestions. Again, wether we are getting out of it what we could is probably right. But, does anyone seriously suggest that if we payed less taxes then services like the NHS, our education system, our welfare state would be better off for it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol At least not taxed on pensions for a start. I tend to agree with points on both sides of the argument on this thread and I think it's down to how our taxes are spent and used unwisely that gets all our backs up. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
