  You don’t but the rich sure do - moaning about taxes is their favourite past time.

    Won't somebody please think of the shareholders!? And spare a thought for those poor CEOs who might have to sell a Ferrari in order to eke out a meagre living if the taxes go up by 1%!

  I sure do want tax cuts, not a fan of subsidising Rishi’s chopper and other ventures. If I can’t get proper services from the NHS, then what’s the point of feeding our aristocracy? Fuck taxes!

    You don’t have an issue with taxes, you have an issue with how they’re spending them.

      Yes. But while we have the current government I don’t want to pay taxes.

    Object to those things not paying for things. The tories cannot be trusted with anything economics related but letting them cut taxes is not going to help with them doing those things

      That will help me save my money and be able to afford services which the government is unable to provide for me.

    It is fun to pay so much tax and productivity into a country/society that gives you so many middle fingers in return.

    Yeah, I kind of get what you mean. It’s frustrating to see tax money wasted on pointless right-wing-wank-fantasies and bungs of money to their friends’ companies, but if they talk about cutting welfare to cut taxes, they’re not going to touch landlord benefit, offshore tax benefit, house of lords benefit, too-many-houses benefit etc.

      If I end up paying less money to these twats, it’s a win for me.
