MB1965 - It's not about fair mate, it's about politics. Your job as a taxpayer is simple. It is to finance Labour's client state and all that this entails. Antonio Gramsci or as some call him Anthony Blair took the British State and rebuilt and remodelled it to promote the interests of his party.
We are paying a level of tax not to finance important public services (which I have no problem with) but to finance the running and expansion of Labour's client state. The Tories refuse to reform it because Labour's unions will simply bring the entire shebang to a grinding halt.
I resent my taxes being used to promote any political party but that's exactly what is happening. The infection of politics is everywhere today. We are being forced to agree to a settlement between citizen and State that I find intolerable. Our assets, our freedoms and our liberties have been deliberately targeted over the last 25 years. The British citizen has become political capital. We are no longer free of the State but are made to feel as though we owe our existence to it. Down that road points authoritarianism
