it really annoys me too our country just blows are tax money like no tomorrow.they spend over 70.000 on 1 single rocket and fired 1000s in Afghanistan
and Iraq.each one of those rockets cost more than my house
But they need to fire those rockets at someone to justify buying nice shiny new ones, from the company they (and the banks) have shares in.
We don't get to hear about the half of what goes on in these government departments and, even when someone does spill the beans, it gets swept under
the rug very quickly by either government or the corporate media, or both if it's deemed potentially very damaging.
All we want, and deserve, is a level playing field as far as law and justice is concerned. At work, I have to sit through online ethics and
compliance training modules every year. Everything from diversity, data retention and ethics and compliance. Half of what we have to adhere to in
the workplace, mandated by the government, we see them ignoring every week and getting away with it.
But, they have us by the short and curlies, by using the old PAYE system, deducting taxes at source instead of allowing us to submit them ourselves.
Thus preventing mass tax retention in protest at their actions. While all the time allowing themselves, their rich buddies and corporations to make
the best use of designed loopholes that are not available to the man in the street. Is anyone really shocked any more?
