Debating the debaters

[Midnitemo]

I think unless you're a very high rate tax payer you're getting a good deal(obviously not as good a deal as those who don't pay but there's nothing stopping you living like that if you so wish)....it only takes one bout of sickness and you could use many ten's of thousands of nhs resources...i pay 5k a year income tax and just over 1k in council tax....i know the secondary education budget alone is more than that for one child per year....systems not perfect but i think you'll find its propped up by the higher tax payers rather than the average joe in the street with 2.3 kids and a 26k a year job and 100k mortgage....i know for a long time my tax bill hasn't quite covered my usage and yes i get pissed of at the way some strange minorities seem to get a disproportionate amount of the fiscal spend.
