Thought I'd start a new thread to discuss the whole system of Taxation in this country.
As it seems such a bug bear to everyone having to pay tax for this and that whether or not one may use this or that and the fact that some pay little or no tax, what if items had a token value system whereas the value of tax was calculated on items by their specific value to the use of that item. ie medical items and hospital stay would accrue a tax value, fuel would carry a certain value, etc etc etc these purchases would tally up on your card account and monthly you would be taxed on the items you would use.
Of course some would say that's unfair to those that cant help being ill.
or to those that couldnt afford medical care because of it.
but thats the problem with a capitalist system, some will be better off than others.
The only fair system would mean an equality system and thats not going to happen due to the greedy ones out there.
So whats the solution? Carry on business as usual? Have a revolution?
Wait till the oil runs out and then the problem of high fuel cost goes away?
Point i'm making is that there's no point in fussing over it as it has evolved into this situation over time and we are stuck with it.
A change now will only come back twice as bad when the books need to balance.
So its up to you, enjoy the fruits now and let your kids suffer in the future or tighten your belts now to protect their future.
What do you think?
