The goverment are to gready now a days its time the public stood up agianst them. What item have you reconised that has had a tax raise? scottf 18-03-2005, 13:15 What are thags? badboyracer 18-03-2005, 13:21 cigarettes poeple spell diffrent most people spell it fags or some like me thags Carmine 18-03-2005, 13:21 I presume "Fags" are the items in question. miggy 18-03-2005, 13:22 Think you'll find we don't pay that much tax compared to many others, although it's a complex situ. You could certainly argue that the top 10% are not paying a large enough proportion of income. Fact is that many govt funded resources are underfunded, not over funded, and that's to keep our tax low! scottf 18-03-2005, 13:23 Originally posted by badboyracer cigarettes poeple spell diffrent most people spell it fags or some like me thags Well if you smoke you are going to end up draining the NHS of resources because you will probably get cancer or something else due to smoking so rather than raise the NI he levys more tax on the fags themselves. Easy if u think about it. badboyracer 18-03-2005, 13:24 only smoke when i go out drinking once a month. ptigga 18-03-2005, 13:25 Originally posted by badboyracer I went to the local shop the other day and thags have gone up. tax is just to high now a days whats goin on. The goverment are to gready now a days its time the public stood up agianst them. What item have you reconised that has had a tax raise? "The government are to [sic] gready [sic]" you say. So who will you be voting for in May? I don't mind tax on cigarettes since I don't smoke them and I would love to see the day when all the pubs go non-smoking. badboyracer 18-03-2005, 13:26 then i will totaly give up. scottf 18-03-2005, 13:27 Well if you only buy them once a month what are you complaining for? its only a couple of pence? badboyracer 18-03-2005, 13:30 well im not just complainin bout fags also pints have gone up 1p scottf 18-03-2005, 13:34 Well - 1p- i really don't know what im going to do now- phwoar.

Carmine 18-03-2005, 13:37 Anyone taking bets on how long before this thread lurches towards a political debate and gets moderated? badboyracer 18-03-2005, 13:37 well consider i buy 10 pints a nite is 10p x12 = 120p badboyracer 18-03-2005, 13:38 when i could be putting them 1p in my cahrity box what i donate to weston park. ptigga 18-03-2005, 13:40 Originally posted by badboyracer when i could be putting them 1p in my cahrity box what i donate to weston park. Well you can keep doing that. There's so much variation on the price of a pint depending on what beer you drink and where you buy it; I hardly think I'll notice the difference. badboyracer 18-03-2005, 13:42 every pennie counts with charity Carmine 18-03-2005, 13:45 Much as I enjoy the Museum in question and am looking forward to the reopening...might it not be the case that there are more needful things that accumulating 1p worth of tax will be put towards. max 18-03-2005, 17:07 Originally posted by Carmine Anyone taking bets on how long before this thread lurches towards a political debate and gets moderated? MOD: Moving, not moderating, but only out of the Sheffield forum as I assume the tax rises apply to more than just Sheffield. rubydazzler 18-03-2005, 17:42 Originally posted by Carmine Much as I enjoy the Museum in question and am looking forward to the reopening...might it not be the case that there are more needful things that accumulating 1p worth of tax will be put towards. Carmine, I'm not sure whether or not ur trying a joke there ... but I have a feeling he means the hospital ..... :) |
