Would you rather pay for all the childs health care privately and it cost loads?
So the child or you or your girlfriend will never use the nhs ever?
Never ever use public transport?
Your child will never go through education?
You would rather pay masses to do these in private?
You are earning, so you are obliged to pay taxes in order to support the public services, which at one point another you will and im sure you have used.
But personally I'd rather be taxed based on the services I *DO* use and not what I have or might use..
My family is covered by my health insurance, and I have a car which again I pay TAX on, I even paid TAX when buying the car, then I pay ridiculous TAX on petrol to go in the car!
And it pisses me off even more knowing how many fraudsters out there are conning the benefits agencies and spending my tax money right now !!!
You cant choose what taxes you pay though.
What annoys me though is the super rich fuckers who avoid tax :mad: The bastards.
i should leave before my socialist views get me in trouble
I worked every single day last month, 9-5 week days and 7-7 on weekends !
Pah, I just hate paying the best part of a grand for tax!
And I don't see why I should pay for the NHS when I don't use it.
Because some people cant afford to pay for basic healthcare perhaps? :rolleyes:
I'm beginning to believe this - to an extent. I think the NHS is outdated and isn't working... and I think it would be better not to get taxed on it and for us to take out private health care like most of the developed countries do. Thats only my opinion though.
Again there are members of society who cant afford healthcare. Operations cost thousands.
thats why it would be an insurance not paying for it when you need it. It works in other countries fine!
So tax them not me, I can't even afford to buy a fucking house thanks to the goverment at the moment.
Exactly, waiting lists, MRSA.. and more and more tax, no thanks.
and renzo you can go on about how we need to pay tax blah blah blah but i'm sure you can empathise why he feels like that.
out of interest, which countries do people have to not pay as much tax? i'd just like some information for future reference.
So whoever can't afford it can get taxed and use the NHS!
All people do is whine about it anyway.
How can they be taxed when they cant afford it
I fucking hate this "me, me me" attitude.
Exactly..
Ren get off your high horse and read my first post which states..
Are you listening? I CANT FUCKING AFFORD IT!
I'm supposed to keep three people now, and a house and car.. !
Do you work?
By the way - my attitude is far from me me me it's something like "I don't like paying into goverment bullshit"
I'd rather have my share of NHS tax back, and give half to charity.
Actually i think you will find most of Europe pays a fair amount more tax for services than us.
You can't just walk into BUPA and ask for some anti-biotics for your chest infection. You would have to see an NHS funded GP for that.
If you needed an operation and you wanted to use your private healthcare you would have to go and see your NHS GP who would spend NHS time and NHS money writing a referral for you to go private.
Basically I'm saying we should take a leaf out of the Germans book etc. and have loads of private companies and just them - no NHS hospitals or whatever
And even if I did, FINE!! Like I said at the beginning I know most taxes paid are fair it's just a bit of a piss off when I'm getting taxed nearly a whole months standard wages!!!!!
I don't think GPs should be driven by profit. I don't think any doctor should. It is when you are driven by profit that you become greedy and the care and welfare of patients plays second fiddle to personal wealth.
I would like to think people enter the health profession because they want to help people. As naive and cheesy as that might sound if you haven't any desire to help people then you're in the wrong job.
If I'm honest, my dad works as many hours as you do for less than half your wages so my sympathy is minimal BUT perhaps you will be able to claim some back if these aren't your usual working hours?
the rest goes on the army, the brittish army is what costs the most each year,
we also pay for mr blairs lovely house... his maids/servents and his stuppidity high wages, I bet he don't pay tax..
Why do we even need such a large army, Don't use it all.. We sent something like 1/10 of our army into iraq the rest just sits there..
As for people who can't afford healthcare should get it free.. I agree with this.. my mother can't pay for it as she cannot work..
Yeah I don't even support the war.
I don't mind paying for the NHS too much though
yeah... It's hard enough to pay for contence insurenece but health care aswell it's bloody hard.. We struggle as it is... and I believe ya when you say your'd struggle aswell.. it'd be bloody hard...
NHS is better than private in my opinion..
I agree. State welfare is something I believe in strongly.
The NHS pays my wages but that doesn't mean the system is perfect. I think there are many people who underestimate the services available to them though and because of this they see the NHS as something they might never use.
