Zugara Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 How true is this? Scary At first I thought this was funny....Then I realised the awful truth of it. Be sure to read all the way to the end! Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table At which he's fed. Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts Anyway! Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat. Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he Tries to think. Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways To tax his ass. Tax all he has Then let him know That you won't be done Till he has no dough. When he screams and hollers; Then tax him some more, Tax him till He's good and sore. Then tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in Which he's laid. When he's gone, Do not relax, It's time to apply The inheritance tax. Accounts Receivable Tax Airline surcharge tax Airline Fuel Tax Airport Maintenance Tax Building Permit Tax Cigarette Tax Corporate Income Tax Goods and Services Tax (GST) Death Tax Driving Permit Tax Environmental Tax (Fee) Excise Taxes Income Tax Fishing License Tax Food License Tax Petrol Tax (too much per litre) Gross Receipts Tax Health Tax Inheritance Tax Interest Tax Heating Tax Lighting Tax Cooking Tax Liquor Tax Luxury Taxes Marriage License Tax Medicare Tax Mortgage Tax Personal Income Tax Property Tax Poverty Tax Prescription Drug Tax Real Estate Tax Recreational Vehicle Tax Retail Sales Tax Service Charge Tax School Tax Telephone Tax Vehicle License Registration Tax Vehicle Sales Tax Water Tax Workers Compensation Tax And Now they want a blooming Carbon Tax! STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed in the UK 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world... We had absolutely no national debt, Had a large middle class, A huge manufacturing base And Mum stayed home to raise the kids. What in the Hell happened? Could it be the lying parasitic politicians are wasting our money? Oh, and don't forget the relatively new bank charges.... And we all know what we think of Bankers.

lehem Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Not one of these taxes existed in the UK 100 years ago, & our nation was one of the most prosperous in the world... Strictly speaking, they aren't UK taxes, they look like US taxes but that doesn't really alter much, we just have different names for most of them and probably a few more to boot!

Yes lets forget how the British empire (although I never heard of anyone Scottish doing anything) raped the world, killed millions of people and purposely hooked people on opium.

Greekman Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 It's us tax, it's eu tax but it's never our fault eh? Then Greece is in trouble because people there don't pay their taxes and we so much do! The communist system had lots of flaws and collapsed though revolutions and blood. I am afraid the capitalistic system has faults too...but it isn't causing any revolutions...it is helping right wing parties elect more mps. Just look back in the 1930s.....hope I won't be alive when the world we know changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 there is not much of manufacturing sector left in UK, prodominantly service industry. Labour is not cheap either. Major source on income for Govt = Tax Afterall they need some source of revenue to pay the expenses of their MP's One thing has always bugged me - Road Tax As most of you here have their Zed as second car, which means they are on road not very often but you are paying as much tax as someone who is on road 24 x 7. Is it fair? Well IMO best would be to abolish road tax and add that tax in the price of fuel (dont know may be 0.5p or 1p or 2p) and that way everyone pays fairly. The more you're on the road the more you pay and less you're on road less you pay!! What do you think folks??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's VED, or Vehicle Excise Duty. So I'm afraid it's car tax rather than road tax. Saying that i'm fairly sure they'll rename it the 'based-on-the-unconvincing-and-incomplete-theory-that-man-made-carbon-dioxide-emissions-cause-global-warming tax', as that's more or less what it is.
