Just a question. ( a test really)

Your neighbour doesn’t pay taxes he must do. You know this exactly.
What do you do?
Do you inform authorities on him?
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    Maybe.

    But the Inland Revenue would probably seek him out anyhow!

    Besides, taxation is theft! Don't let them steal from you!!:yes:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Yawn.

    Taxation is RIGHT.

    Being a greedy bastard is THEFT.

    Getting paid tens of times more than your fellow employees is THEFT.

    Trying to avoid paying tax or exploiting loopholes is THEFT.

    People who indulge in such practices should be put against a wall and SHOT.

    How's that monocrat? :D

    Hi the sole liber !
    Do you really think taxation is theft?
    If you do I am your ally!
    ( Poor Aladdin can’t see the difference between voluntary wish to help your fellow man and govt’s robbing )
    PS. Hi Aladdin!! May I think you answer is YES? ( BTW to be greedy doesn’t mean to EARN money, this means to wish to grab other people’s money by courts, laws, the police, Inland Revenue, Royal Navy, bombing, jailing and other nice things State has got but citizens don’t ).

    So how do we pay for the NHS, education, public libraries, art galleries, museums etc etc without taxation?

    1. Should you? You MUST BE!
    F*** sinner!
    Your CountryOf FreePeople and Your1stCitizen AntoinDeRobertsBlaire don’t like you to use bad substances. So how you dare!?
    You ought to be shot with HUGE bullets, right?
    2. How can we pay for things you did mention? With money! Do you seriously think if our lovely protection racket mafia (Government, please) doesn’t threaten us to be jailed we are so helpless that we would NEVER give any bloody penny to anything and anyone?

    The utopian concept of public services being financed by users' fees and "voluntary donations" is a load of bollocks I'm afraid. Not least because it is a proven fact that the richer person the more selfish and tight-fisted they become. The proportion of income given to charities by rich people stands to something like 0.7%. By contrast working class people give upwards of 2% of their income to good causes.

    You couldn't run a Hornby train model set if you had to rely on donations from fat cats and rich scumbags- let alone running a country.

    What makes me laugh the most is that unless either you or monocrat happen to be the children of megacorporation CEOs or have many millions at your disposal, YOU would suffer as much as everyone else in a country where there was no taxation. Your teeth would be rotting. Your health would be shite. Your children would have no education. You'd have to walk or cycle to work because you would not be able to afford a car or public transport. You'd have no pension. Etc etc etc. In short: your life would be utter SHIT.

    So what is it? Are you a masochist? Or are you a multi-millionaire? Because those are the only two groups who could possibly justify no taxation.

    You haven't answered the question. How do we pay for the NHS without taxes? Do you want to see a situation like in the US where poor people cannot afford basic medical care?

    BTW why do you and sole liber write in exactly the same style? Are you related?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I have no idea whether my neighbours pay their taxes or not, theyre just normal people so I assume they do. if i found they werent, I wouldnt inform anybody, yet if I found out my boss at work wasnt paying his taxes or somebody rich who could well afford it, then i might consider informing.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    If you think noone should pay taxes then you're off your trolley.
    I don't think we should be miked dry or become a socialist state but a system of income tax and national insurance is the best way of running things, I can't see any other alternatives.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    There should be no NHS.

    Why do you always ask that when this topic comes up??!:rolleyes: :lol:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    There you should be no private health or schools.

  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    That's your view, albeit containing poor grammar!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    That naturally should read 'there should be no private health or schools'. Apologies. That's what happens when you're thinking of the next post or paragraph.

    But anyway. Do you think that idea is ridiculous? Not nearly as ridiculous as suggesting there should no NHS.

    The key to this is: can YOU afford private health, private education or £400 for a standard return train ticket?

    I would truly expect monocrat that those doctors you have been seeing are private. Surely a principled person like you could NEVER allow himself to use the NHS, if you disapprove so much of it. Not even if you cannot afford private care.

    Well? Is that the case?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I think all health should be private yes!

    And I don't believe it's ridiculous!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    So have you used NHS doctors or not?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Why is this of any relevance??

    So you can gloat about me being a 'hypocrite' or something??

    No one here knows me or how I tick!!

    You turn extreme, when you face extreme views.
    And what you're saying doesn't make any sense.

    We have understood, that the worst thing imaginable for you is the gain of money. But why deprive others who have it, to enjoy it?

    Why should someone who has the money be put on a waiting list when they can pay themselves to speedy recovery (which would actually help the stress on the NHS, as they don't have to fund these people).
    Why should people who find a school of a better quality, and have the means to send their kids there, not be allowed to it?
    Don't they say that education is the way forward? Meaning that good education, must be even better.

    There should be taxes, and their should be a security for the people who can't make everyday life run around by themselves. But why should we in the age of liberty and choices be deprived of those choices?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    How the hell can someone argue that there should be no NHS? So that those less well off can die off while the rich or healthy? Pah!

    Bingo!

    I know (from your own ramblings about the state of the NHS) that you have been seeing NHS psychiatrics. Not only that but you complain how bad they are.

    Which goes to reinforce my point.

    So WHY are you using NHS doctors, when not only you "don't believe" in public health but also when you are unhappy with their service?

    COULD IT BE BECAUSE YOU CAN'T AFFORD PRIVATE CARE???

    I rest my case.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    If his like the soap dodging arse hole who lives over the road from me that clams mobility allowance when there's nothing wrong with him then yes I would.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Although I disaprove of two-tier education and health Jacqs, I actually would not ban private health or education.

    I was simply replying in monocrat's style to monocrat's equally silly one-sentence statements such as "all taxation is theft" and "there should be no NHS".

    Fight fire with fire, and all that.

    I use NHS doctors because they are readily available. Actually, I don't see the doctor that often so I probably could afford private care!

    I fail to see why one child should get a better education simply because his or her parents earn more.

    One child should not have better chances in life based on what their parents have achieved.
    Every schoolchild should have a similar level of support and should be encouraged to work to the best of their ability.

    The school I went to would give aid, or lower school-prices for children who's parents couldn't afford it.
    As far as I know, most better schools have a system like that in one way or another, so no kid should be stopped from getting a good education based on their parents income.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Seeing the doctor occasionally might be just about affordable. Seeing a shrink regularly isn't, and if you had to go weekly for a year or two you might have to rob a bank to pay for it.

    And being hospitalised and operated is prohibitive for everyone but the richest.

    But never mind; let's all die aged 35 and give our kids no education or hopes so public services are removed and the multi-millionaires don't have to part with 1% of their beloved wealth.

    Wow! Now that surprised me. Health should be private?

    I suppose you think that the Government should keep it's filthy hands out of our lives...

    Yeah! We don't want those elected bastards in our business, we didn't choose them for that. I prefer a group of non-elected business men to decide about the less important things in life like education, health...

    We agree once again Sole... :rolleyes:

    Sorry but government is force. It cannot survive WITHOUT coercion! That's why government should be reduced to the SMALLEST size possible!
