"Taxes"

People are annoying

They moan when taxes go up to help public services

They moan when they have low taxes but have crap public services

Labour lost the '92 election because the Tories whinged to 'The Sun' reading morons that they'd put up taxes... however Old Labour would do this to aid the country... but no the Tories won. Creating New Labour and now all parties are neither left nor right wing, just want to stay in power.

Or something like that.

I agree that some dont do a lot. People like rockstars however deserve it, they give so many people so much pleasure. Anyway i can see your a socialist who wants everyone to be the same, live in the same sort of house, have the same car, tv, radio, food, toilet paper, so we are never going to agree

Earnt my asss

They do little for society... oh look at him play football once a week lets give him 50,000.

Terrible

I dont agree with you on the millionaire thingy. They earnt it, yes with a ludicrously high contract, but still let them have it, its theirs.

Its people who dont do anything and just scrounge off the government who should be made to work for their money. Also " " "refugees" " " shouldnt be given all the stuff they are given.

Notice how i emphasised the " " marks

Tax the people who earn millions, take all their money off them.

It's not fair that somebody who has a good job and lives a slighter higher life than many should fund everyone else. I'm a Socialist at heart and stuff but I do think far too many morons in society take advanatage of benifit etc

Errrm look at Robbie Williams, earns 80 million contract. Tax him 75% or something instead of 40&.

I agree that people are stupid for wanting lower taxes but they still moan for poor quality services. However do you really think that people are ever going to be happy. You cant please everyone so what you going to do.

I personally believe that taxes should rise. This may be my middle class upbringing coming out here but you can't pay for better services if you havnt got the money. The trouble is choosing what, and who to tax. I think its unfair the way that (i'm going to go out on a limb here) the poorer people in society immediately just shout 'tax the rich, they can afford it so they should pay'. Its true that the rich can afford to be taxed more but most, not all, of these people have earned their money fairly so think its out of order that they should have to pay for people who cant be bothered to work. I know that there are some people who havnt got the opportunity to work, and there are some rich people who have just inherited their money and not done anything to deserve it. However as a rule i believe that tax should be spread out evenly not have the highest earning sector having inproportionate taxt rises. Yes they should pay more, but not an unreasonably more sum of money.

my school was something like 3rd from bottom of the league tables for GCSE results in the whole country. i blame the cack teachers who were rubbish. fortunatly for me I came away alright.

Especially if they failed school then most of their minimum wage will go into tax.

I'd throw many out school for trouble-making... this may cause many problems as morons running about on streets but I had one hell of a hard education surrounding by morons who simply never wanted to learn.

I was agreeing with you up until that point. Some people just aren't capable of learning as easily as others. Granted, some just choose not to, but some simply can't. Why should they be penalised?

I've also found myself agreeing with him lately even though I'm usually the opposite
