Some thing based on the electoral roll would be much fairer, it could be called a Poll Tax or something similar Completely agree, didn't turn out well the last time they tried it though!

And property value is a good start. I do not agree that we should all pay equally, next you'll be pontificating that we ALL pay the same amount of tax on our earnings..............

johncrow Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 I agree everyone should be paying a fair amount each then perhaps people would vote for good representatives and not by the perceived class system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39TDS Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Yep. I pay Over £3,800 to have my bins emptied. Nearly £4k a year for what exactly? To pay some useless ****** pension I guess, probably the guy that draws white lines around all the bomb holes in the road once a month. Should spend less on paint and more on tarmac.
