I am getting fed up with this

This Government here in England has a one track mind.

TAX,TAX AND MORE TAX.

Quote:
Secret plans for a multi-billion-pound package of stealth taxes on fuel, cars, air travel and consumer goods have been drawn up by the government to combat global warming.
Full Story Secret green tax blitz planned for cars, air travel and consumer goods


How much longer are we going too stand for this?

Steed, it's time to move to the US. We have taxes up the wazoo but nothing like GB and Canada. Heck we even have 5 states with no sales or state income tax.

I'll pitch you a tent in the backyard Steed. You won't have to pay property tax. Internet connection might be a bit dicey tho. Sadly, the nearest proper 'pub' serving fish and chips is up in British Columbia.

How is a tax going to help combat global warming?

So you understand where I stand on the subject. How do we know that warming isn't a natural event in the cycle of cooling and warming?

I guess I'm a bit tired of hearing that throughing more money at a problem is the solution.

Stealth taxes. Over here, they're known as "embedded" taxes.

Which is why I support the Fair Tax. Perhaps you Brits need something like it?

What is the point of these green taxes if the rest of the world dose nothing? I am not having ago at the rest of the world, just pointing out something that stands out and yet my Government can not see it. I know I have to pay tax but why is my Government bleeding us all dry?

I am sick of this constant tax I have too pay, I can no longer afford a private pension and any way after having a good talk to some real experts who said if your not on £25,000 to £30,000 a year forget it.

This is the worst Government too date and yet they will be voted back in to office, in Scotland there is a old joke Labour could put a pig up as a candidate and paint it red and stick a Labour flag up it's rear end and people will vote for it.

Well check this:
Council tax to soar 300% for homes in nice areas

"People who live in areas with good schools, clean streets and low crime rates face huge increases in their council tax bills."
