Why doesn...Can anyone tell me what taxes are for ?<br /><br />Why doesn't the government just mine for Bitcoins (or similar) ?<br /><br />Don CoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-1683141577113469042017-11-22T13:52:10.767+00:002017-11-22T13:52:10.767+00:00Sure i've mentioned that I used to work for HM...Sure i've mentioned that I used to work for HMRC doing tax credits. Not only is it philosophically weak but subject to massive fraud, relatively arbitrary in its allocation and far too complex for most anyone to work out. It was really quite depressing.Dick the Prickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02683095612320513712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32841798.post-85084690945344307982017-11-22T09:37:04.008+00:002017-11-22T09:37:04.008+00:00The big swindles are petrol and beer.
Petrol in ...The big swindles are petrol and beer. <br /><br />Petrol in particular. <br /><br />No. It's not 60% of petrol being tax, you lying bastards. It's 150% of the refinery price. <br /><br />It's nearer 200% on beer and the rate of countryside pub closures (where I live) is as big a blight on our country's character and beauty as concreting over the countryside to build housing for gimmegrants. <br /><br />I think I had pretty good awareness on the Brexit outcome - I'm surprised it wasn't a bigger majority. I think I'll be on the right side of the next general election outcome. As a natural Tory I think it will be Corbyn. <br /><br />People hate being taken for mugs. If we're going to get socialism then we may as well have it. <br /><br />I am the most dangerous kind of unionist. <br /><br />Why ?<br /><br />Because I can really punish the Tories - simply by doing nothing, ie staying at home and stopping voting for them. "Boomers caused the housing crisis" was incitement to hatred and a Ratner moment for me. I'm surprised more hasn't been made of it.

You then wonder what the annual Budget navel gazing is all about. <br /><br />While the rest of the world has moved onto just-in-time and real-time activities these sex-mad, power mad, thieves from the public purse, have their ritual of adding more complexity to something that isn't but is since they have buggered it up. <br /><br />Cutting the numbers of MP's can't come soon enough - and the back of this current cadre of politicians.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
