Speaking of which, I was saying to me Grandson Barry just the other day about how we had proper toilet roll back then, not this EU double quilted snowflake sh1te. No, back then we had the coarse-enough-to-chafe-yer-man-hole-stuff haha. Like bloody tracing paper! Yer couldn't sit down for weeks but it never did us any harm did it me Laddo? These youth of today don't understand that we're not just taking back control of our Country. We are taking back that which is the sacred right of all men - the right to wipe with UK grade tracing paper of our own choosing!
Strange...... In 1972 I was working for the brand leader in soft toilet tissue, before
the UK was in the EU. So on that account you are either mistaken or lying?

Where do you think the money comes from to pay for the NHS, welfare benefits, police, etc etc?

Not from the money we earned, that's for sure.
Are you aware of how much money the governments collect from all of the other taxes? It's easy to figure out, if you want to.
"Americans paid a record $374,793,000,000 in general sales and gross receipt taxes to state and local governments in fiscal 2016, according to the U.S. Census Bureau."
www.cnsnews.com...
That's about $1,200 for every man, woman, and child in America, collected in sales tax, over one year.
So let's start with that - they have over 374 billion dollars in their pockets, from only one tax source...
Total police costs in America last year were 100 billion for police, and 80 billion for incarceration, a total of 180 billion.
Except there are many deductions to make from this total...
About 670,000 total police officers in America, paid from sales tax income, will then have to pay it back to the Government through income tax. The average salary of a police officer in America is $65,400, and pays about $16,000 in income tax.
So we multiply 670,000 police who pay $16,000 each in income tax.... which is....$10.72 billion dollars in total income tax.
Or, 10.72 billion dollars the police would not pay in income taxes, if the income tax was actually used to pay for police!
Since our taxes pay for police, why does the police have to pay over 10 billion dollars in taxes?
So far, I've proven that the police pay over 10 billion dollars a year in income tax. I'd like to see you prove that income tax is needed to PAY for the police, in any way.
I won't even go into all the other taxes paid by all the police in vehicles, repairs, computers, building expenses, etc. which have sales taxes. And try to imagine how much tax is collected by fueling up all those police vehicles over a year?
Those paid by our taxes, pay income tax, sales tax, property tax, and all the other taxes - from those taxes paid to them.
Each person who pays income tax does not benefit in any way from it, they are only harmed by losing their rightfully earned wages. After we pay income tax, we are taxed on everything else, as well. Fuel is needed to get to work, we have to pay tax on our own homes, that's a good one too. We pay way more in taxes than ever required for police, health care, and all other services, without income tax gouging us.
We once never paid income tax, and we had no need, every service was paid in other taxes. But they made up a story that the world war required us to pay income taxes, which we didn't mind, because it was for a good cause, and afterwards, we would once again not pay income taxes.
We have paid income tax ever since then, in fact. Only a lot more than we did back then (converting for inflation, of course). They just made up more 'reasons' we had to pay income taxes, after the war. Within no time, they didn't eve make up excuses anymore, they just took it, and we didn't think about it anymore, by that point.
It's ridiculous, but true. Sadly.
