Punterfleece - Whilst I agree on the rich not paying full taxes, it is unfortunately true that they pay for the rest of us to live as we do.

For example, I only put in about £7k of tax and NI per year however someone who was earning around £100k would be putting in around £35k of tax, i.e. 5 times more than me. Ironically, these people are also likely to be using less services (private health care, kids in private school etc).

yes,but does someone who earns 100k deserve that wage to start with? ...besides you are keeping them ,not the other way round ....you indirectly pay their wages

STUDYFORM - you really fail to understand some basics about life.
Clearly the state don't pay for Sky but they do pay the individuals rent as they are apparently this is needed which is fine but then how can that same individual afford the luxury of Sky? I and I'm sure others, have to give up a lot to afford Sky.

If these people can afford Sky they can afford to pay rent.


Who said they could?
Maybe someone (family/friends) with money pays for them. Maybe they have the dish, but were cut-off since losing work. Maybe they're not on benefits, maybe you're assuming, guessing, and generalising.

[b]I'll tell you what annoys me most about this country. Attitudes like yours, and the rubbish you're fed up about.

STUDYFORM is clearly one of those that has never worked, got 12 kids and lives off the rest of us working hard.

Probably blows all of his money on here and then has to steal to get by.

Pleasant character i'm sure.

I'm not the one who thinks its ok to steal?!?

If my attitude stinks because I want people to work hard and contribute to society then so be it - guilty as charged.......tool

That seems to be your biggest gripe Punterfleece?

Whilst it is an issue, it is thought that tax evasion accounts for only £2bn a year which in the greater scheme of things is a tiny number.

Much bigger issues to address.....

And whilst you think my attitude may stink that is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

My opinion is different hence a point for discussion and why I think it is indeed your and Studyform's attitude that stinks.

No, rockingchair. I'm just quite a nice bloke, and I think about things, and reason them out.
Whereas, you're a complete **.

Thanks for your considered response Study.

I was just debating with you and putting forward my views but clearly you're not mature enough to respond in kind.

Your views are your views and that i respect. Maybe you should do the same.

Your first comment was in response to your post of

I'll tell you what annoys me most about this country. Attitudes like yours, and the rubbish you're fed up about.

Agreed that my response was not helpful but i wasnt working with much!

And your second comment was you failing to understand basic economics for which I make no apology for.

Anyway, as I said, I respect your opinions, you should do the same for mine and we can all go to bed.
