Debating the debaters

[Devonian]

When I say resources, I am talking about the public services for which Council Tax/Poll Tax is used.

So if you assume a council tax bill of £2K per property, the house with 2 adults equates to £1000 per adult (tax payer), whereas with the house with 8 adults, they are only paying £250 each.

Yet the house with 8 people has more people generating rubbish which needs to be collected; more people using council services; more people using leisure services; more people using with children needing child care; more people needing social services; more people making use of parks; more people making streets dirty; more elderly people needing support services etc etc etc.....

Whereas with the poll tax, if everyone paid say £500 each, the house with 2 people (who use proportionately fewer services) pay £1000, and the House with 8 (who use many more services) pay £4000 - that is FAIR and JUST in my opinion!!
