a is that many of the rich pay less tax and in some cases none at all due to the corporative nature of their incomes.
Its time for a haircut for the elite and celebrity and instead of worshipping them we should be shaming them.
Statistics from the Health and Social Care Information Centre found that in all 3,620 GPs were paid over £150,000 a year, down from 3,920 in the year before. Of that total, 670 GPs received more than £200,000 a year in 2011/12, up from 730 in the previous year.

Id instead make the goverment confiscate all there property and make it taxpayer owned (as we pay for it) and allow them to live in it for free in exchange for diplomatic service.

Ah now the mystery of the scottish vote becomes so much clearer - she wouldn't have lost balmoral in 1000 years and I bet every trick was pulled to ensure that + she was desperate for that vote to keep the scots' assets and extra purse from scottish tax payers coming in to enjoy.

To the Brits....fcuk your hatred of the monarchy, it costs you nothing, they allow public access to their homes, (if it were privatised buildings, history and land would be closed ) the queen, bless HM, does not have any legal power but would make sure a rogue government couldn't take over (America has the 4th amendment, we have the armed forces swearing to the monarch).]

Rule Britannia, to the OP, no I do not wish HM the Queen or any of the Royal family a council house. They do a bloody good job and are poorly paid for a life in 100% in the public eye.

I second you there because a friend who has been crippled for years is still having problems getting the benefits entitled to. They went for assessment 5 months prior to the 65 birthday, had to wait for the reply just a couple of days before their 65th when the benefit changed drastically down and was told on the phone, not to bother to appeal as they were too close to being 65! Nothing but a fddle yet the royals and their ilk, get money for doing soppy little jobs that mostly they do so badly they would get the sack of end in prison and merrily scorn the public. Disgraceful!

Yes I'm sure the UK would still bring in the massive tourism funds if the Queen was greeting them outside a block of flats...
I'm sure the economy would thrive off of that.

Make the entire aristocracy spend 6 months in a hostel for homeless folks. It'd do them a power of good.

Council housing is where the local authority own houses then rent these houses at low cost to "poor people".
Of course in America you have no such thing as your local authorities are mercenary bast**** and put your "poor people" out on the streets to live in tent towns.
