I hire them and if they can`t do te job, I fire them. I think your relationship with God, Doctor and Taxman should be private and protected in law.<br />Your reply to Anon 00.43 is the truth, but I am warming to the call-in radical circles to ‘Defund’ government departments (at least shot term), as hosing down departments with millions/billions of pounds with no change to behaviour or outcomes is not sustainable.<br />Anon 00.43 mentioned wasteful Benefits, but there is a settled view here, based on our Christian background, not to allow people to die on the streets, as I have seen in some so-called socialist counties in Africa and South Asia.<br />HMG in London and Caerdydd are far too centralised, they pass laws to create wealth and then pass other laws to suppress business through taxes and regulations. Local government should have a veto on the wealth creating laws to ensure no harm is done to their economy and community<br />Spirit of BMEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411161795798360588.post-79933498473146841662022-04-12T11:25:57.735+01:002022-04-12T11:25:57.735+01:00Anon and John - I deplore benefit scroungers espec...Anon and John - I deplore benefit scroungers especially those who don't really need any extra cash to make end meet. You may well ask who might these well heeled scroungers be ? Well the answer is simple. There is a huge raft of large mostly mature corporate entities who have increasingly topped up their revenues by sucking out grants and other handouts either in the form of money or low cost assets. Some of these are now disinclined to do anything unless there's an "incentive" offered which means there is less in the so called public "kitty" for deployment where there is real need - like poor people, either unemployed or on lower incomes, and small businesses, either early stage embryonic ventures or longer term struggling to trade out of the cataclysm imposed upon them by this and previous idiot governments. <br /><br />Taxes are high, mainly due to the wasteful nature of UKGov. However despite the pleas of being aiming for low taxes, blah blah, the primary aim of the current regime is to extract as much as it can from the lower income demographic segments and transfer it p.d.q into the coffers of their corporate friends. This is a new form of Corporate State, doing its best to look soft and cuddly on the outside but working for the seriously mean and nasty bastards who really run the show. dafishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04216920242825385976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411161795798360588.post-46593024856874133922022-04-12T07:36:52.365+01:002022-04-12T07:36:52.365+01:00Anon,

Why is it only benefits (as opposed to other expenditure) which causes taxes to be at current levels? Why are people on benefits? What is the relationship between government expenditure and taxation? What is taxation for? What is the duty of a government to its citizens? Such a short question, with so many assumptions, biases and prejudices behind it. Too many to deal with in detail here, especially when so hopelessly off-topic.

Honest answer, because we have so many claiming benefits.<br /><br />Time for a re-think. Benefits don't benfit anymone!
