Dont just post "yes" and leave, I do acctually want your veiws and opinions on this one.
OK, my reasons for this post are related to something we all want but dont have enough of (no not sex) £££, yup money, and how our goverment distributes it. Before we start, I DO realise we have a very stable ecomony, but I still think a few changes could be made.
Lets look at our underpayed for starters. Firefighters, Paramedics. The two are public servers, they SAVE lives for gods sake! I mean these people put there ass's on the line to save others. They are expected to save the day, even though they are up against prank calls and false alarms every day. Does our goverment reward them for their work? Does if F**k! Money wise they can barely support bills, let alone provide for a family! Fire fighters are forced to get second jobs and paraedics/nurses all work ALOT of overtime, just to provide for themselves when they dedicate themselves to others! They do deserve more and they shouldnt have to strike to get it.
Now them, tax. 40%. 40% of all you earn (depending on what you earn i know it can be lower) fair dues, every country has tax, even if our countries is a little steeper than most. Then we loose a further 17.5% on EVERYTHING we buy/sell. Indeed every country has this, granted we are a little steep. Petrol, BLIMEY! No country pays half as much as us! Fair dues, but here's the clever part! If the goverment raise the cost of petrol by lets say 2p. not much I hear you say, well no it ist. But now, EVERYTHING that is sold anywhere increases in price, because the amount it costs to get it to where it is has gone up, so to cover the companies losses the price must go up. Very well, but now the 17.5% they get form EVERYTHING is vaued as more, meaning more prophits. Think about that.
Now then, whenever a conversation is made about money these guys come into it, footballers. These people make a living from kicking a ball about, fair enough its a form of entertainment, but what a living they make! They make more in a year than most make in a life time, do they save lives? Do they worry about providing for there families? No.
Now, I'm not a racist, but I have to say immigrants. We get people sneaking in and illegally living here, they have our worries to, buit people who apply to leave a country for political reasons, are brought over here, given a house and help with there morgage so they can make a living for themselfs...hold on, what about me? I've lived hear all my life, I'm doing your schooling and further education to get qualifications to get a job and get by and this guy just gets it all handed to him on a plate? Dont treat one how you would'nt treat another!
Finally, houses. House prices are ridiculous. When I get a full time job, I'm going to need to find the money to afford a morgage after I've forked out however much I have to every month just to get by.
Now, I'm only a 16 year old boy, a kid, but I know already that when I get older, things are going to get alot tougher and theres nothing I can do but try my hardest.

Let's get one thing straight - when the government had a review of firefighters wages and working hours, they were aghast at what they found:
1. Part time hours for a full time wage.
2. Shift swapping, timesheet fiddling.
3. Undeclared second incomes.

Personally I think that in a media such as this, wehere all you have are words. No tones, no facial expressions, if someone fails to realise that you are being sarcastic that is your fault, and not theirs. That's why we have all sorts of funny little faces, to invoke emotion into posts.
So really, sarcasm on the internet is a concept that YOU have yet to master

Sarcasm is hard to portray in the written word, as emphasis cannot be placed on words.
OK you two, stand down, agree with me on this, firefighters and paramedics do a damn good job, they do deserve to be able to provide for thier own family on the income they make?

Yeah, from an economical point of view you are spot on. However there are ample amount of people wanting to be policicians but they gave themselves a pay rise anyway. Who is the party more deserving of a payrise, firemen or politicians?

Can you tell me exactly how this sentance is supposed to be sarcastic, and if it was how exactly I was supposed to know it was sarcastic.
Don't tell me I've yet to master sarcasm. I was being sarcastic before you were born.
Don't ever patronise me again.

Unless you take a skill training in the army, eg mechanics, when you come out after your time there won't be many good job options left.
If your where trapped in a room with fire blocking the only exit, you would EXPECT a fireman to come save you, regarless of the danger, if he extinqueshed the exit enough to get in, picked you up and a beam came through the cealing trapping you both and suffocating you, would this be the firemans fault?
