Aren't taxes too high?

Former Member · 2002-09-23 22:09:46

I feel that personal allowance should be raised to £7000 and the basic and higher rates of income tax be lowered to 14% and 26% respectively. It's also prudent that national insurance is abolished. Since taxation can be viewed as a form of theft (even though I'm not an anarchist), people must have as much of their own…

Yes there is dimwit. Parents can be prosecuted if they refuse to send their children to a state school (whilst their children are registered at a state school).

No there isn't. Just that children must be educated. This can be done at home, or in Private Schools, as well as in state schools...

And about hypocrisy? Well I guarantee when I was 5-16 I wouldn't have given TWO SHITS about politics then!! So that fact that I hold such views today cannot make me hypocritical (as you put it).

No you wouldn't have been interested then, but you would deny people their right to the education you recieved.

THAT makes you a hypocrite. If it was good enough for you, why shouldn't others recieve the same benefit from the state?
