Yes !

There are many inequalities.

Why should a person who earns more than another pay more in direct taxation.

Why should people living in a big house pay more Council Tax than those living in small houses,

Why should non smokers pay the same National Insurance as smokers.

The list is very, very long.

Clearly those who are less of a risk should pay less and vice versa, but its a funny old world !!!!!

yes theres a lot of injustice,

i have another view on the smokers, the tax on those cigs is a fortune enough to pay the nhs for recieving treatment ,smoke related illnesses, so i dont agree ,i dont think a none smoker pays as much as a smoker

Why should a person who earns more than another pay more in direct taxation.

Simple ... because they can AFFORD to!! That's why there are different Tax Bands - only ... their thresholds don't go far enough ! Surely you aren't suggesting the average earner should be paying the same as ... say ... an Investment Banker, for example.

Why should people living in a big house pay more Council Tax than those living in small houses

For precisely the same reason I've already mentioned. People who live in BIG houses are usually those with the wherewithal that facilitates the provision of additional amenities/luxuries an affluent lifestyle permits. If a person can no longer afford such "extravagancies", then he/she should get the hell out of it - pronto!
