Tories tackle speed camera rules

No. Whatever other people "feel", there is still a justification for
fuel duty.

You have led us, very nicely, to exactly the point I wanted to make.

What the fuel blockaders, and the country pikey in your example are
missing is this: though fuel tax may be higher here than elsewhere,
income tax rates, and corporation tax rates are lower. So it evens out.

And anyway, market-state theory (it's the non-interventionists who want
to lower taxes, remember) would tell the country dweller on a low income
to move to the city where incomes are higher.

 

Same way you do a working person. Retired people have income after all.

Did you not read my examples?

And why doesn't your newsreader quote properly?

 

What subsidies?? ITYF that there are more subsidies going individually
to the unemployed, Nuclear Power and farming than are going to the
Defence Industries. Heseltine put paid to the happy old days of 'costs
plus' contracts. The only 'subsidies' that I'm aware of are the export
guarantees given to some contracts.

What's more, as it's a large proportion of the Industry we have left
and we're already predicted to lose 48,000 manufacturing jobs next
year, how would you propose to fill the hole in the real wealth
creation side of the economy (i.e manufacturing)?

If you could turn swords into plough shears it would be nice.
Unfortunately, no **** has managed it yet without being thoroughly
defeated in war first.

HTH HAND etc

 

Although the ful protest was not about fuel duty per se, but excessive
(as perceived) duty.

Public protest is aways a good way to remind politicans what's what

 

They come over here and get banned on our roads instead...

Bit difficult if they're a farm worker etc to move to the city
and contribute massively to the overcrowded commuter routes.
Apart from the fact that having lived in the city I can honestly
say they're disgusting places not fit for habitation.

It's a bitch of a commute mind.

I'm not saying its easy or perfect but what I am saying is that
everyones income is at some point accountable.

Still income, unearned income maybe but still income.

Still income, the same way commission only people are paid/taxed.

Why bother with all the hassle of a tax system in that case.

There will always be people who find ways round laws but that doesn't stop
them from being good or even bad laws.

 

I'm surprised at you. The concept of tightening ones belt and spending
less or only at a rate equal to inflation does not apply to the Gov.
then. The Labour government *borrowing* is at an all time high.

The system is so inefficient. Local on top of central government all
wanting to charge. It costs the government 10 [1] times the amount it
should to so something.

True enough. That's why council tax goes up by three time the rate of
inflation every year.

I think your line length is too short.

In OE, go to Tools > Options > Send Tab > click on the Plain Text
Settings button on News Setting (at the bottom)

Then set "Automatically Wrap Text at X Characters, when sending" With X
between 72 and 76.

HTH

 

Nice simplistic view. But a mile away from reality...

Did you not read my examples?

Everyone's income is not necessarily accountable, and not everyone's
income is simple.
