Saying tax the rich more is stupid because they are already paying considerably more.

I'll bet everyone of us on here if fortunate enough to earn a substantial amount would do their utmost to reduce the tax liability knowing its actually going to a feckless bunch of politicians who in turn spunk that to other politicians by way of foreign aid, wars in countries we don't want or need or simply propping up a bank.. On the other hand many chavs in their Burberry clothes will simply get our tax off the social and spend it down the boozer.

With all that in mind why would you are anyone with an ounce of common sense want to contribute to this society?
Worst still some of our tax is going to idiots who want to obtain our legal aid against the regular man...

As quickly as I can I'm getting out of this country, I don't earn mega loads but I earn enough to pay for my 3 bed semi, my 5 year old car, maintenance to ex wife and cover my ever increasing tax, bills and food costs let alone expensive fuel.

Tax the rich but as suggested unless the laws are severely policed and corporates, parasites from eastern Europe who rip off our social nfrastructure are removed (amongst he many) we are not gong to see things get any better.

Well said.
