i agree, we pay tax on what we earn, we get taxed duty on many goods and then pay a third tax VAT the actual percentage of the money we end up with from the money we earn is sometimes laughable. low wage earners are told they're out of the tax brackets and don't have to pay tax. yet they still have to pay tax on petrol tobacco and alcohol which they then have to pay vat on as well as paying separately for their retirement and healthcare vis national insurance stamps. we then have death duty, inheritance tax and a host of other taxes, we can't give our kids a larger present than a few grand because they will get taxed on it. why not have a fixed tax rate called vat for everyone and leave it at that. in answer to my own question we have to pay the government a gov that's so large as to be preposterous.
the courts could make enough to run themselves and the police with their hidden traffic cams can certainly make enough.
thing is, the tax still isn't enough for the usa or almost any other major gov in the world, they still have to borrow trillions to fund their silly little wars. their stupid reliance on oil and all the pomp and bollocks that goes in running for office.
