"Time for us to all grow up and realise that if over the next 20 years we want to enjoy first world public services available free at the point of delivery then ALL of us are going to have to pay something towards this." Couldn't agree more - there is no such thing as a free lunch, and we have two options, either we pay more in tax to pay for public services available to everyone at point of delivery. Or, we take the view that you pay less in tax and your ability to pay decides what services you can have. Countries with good services all pay considerably more in tax, it is hardly rocket science, so why do politicians try and convince us you can have more for less? It's rubbish - and even locally the results of constantly holding down council tax can be seen every day. |
