Anonymous Coward User ID: 1373944 United Kingdom 05/07/2011 06:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't see this protest working. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1163569Nope. In a way it's a pity because everyone wants to pay less and we all know we're being screwed by the tax. But the corporation tax was dropped down in the last budget and that is about all we can expect. The big con is road tax. |

What I don't understand is the government charges less road tax for high mpg diesels But the European commission wants to put 10p a litre on diesel by 2013 because of the emissions from diesel Mixed message or what... |

Quoting: fat mushroom 1374370Yeah get rid of tax. Screw the welfare and NHS. you need a history lesson my friend if you think the Tax we pay is even legal or just. this government only need 66billion to run the whole of the UK this is taken in income tax alone , where do you think the rest goes ?VAT Vehicle tax (and truckers pay massive amounts )and all the other taxes we pay in where do you think the money comes from to pay the EU bill and two wars, before you start spouting about lazy bastards sitting at home and the NHS do some research. |
