FUEL TAX !

Why do we have this tax, in fact why are we taxed more than any other European nation? This TAX-TAX -TAX system stops us being a major player in the world of global politics because we are laughed at, once we were the top dogs but now we have been overtaken by the so called developing nations who appear to have developed, leaving us behindn their wake.

If fuel costs were cut by reducing the amount of tax that we pay on it it would go a long way towards getting back on line but this government can only wage war on private enterprise profits they think that high taxes are justified and the only cut should be on their profits not taxes. If the system were run correctly taxes could be cut and profits still controlled in a fair manner, but Labour would not like that, it would mean them having to admit that they have been wrong for a long time. this is not the only unfair tax we pay, there are many, levied at the slightest excuse to introduce a new one every few days.

FOTTNOTE :

One of the most unfair is the TV licence fee. When the BBC was the only broadcasting system in this country and advertising was unheard of it was reasonable and justified to keep the service going. Now the BBC has diversified and introduced many more Radio and TV channels which get a considerable income from advertising the justification for a licence fee is questionable, Labours spin people will come up with a justification story from some where but I dare say that the huge amount of money raised by both fuel tax and TV licence fees will be diverted away from there original purpose. It is a Labour trick to get money for one purpose and use it for another.
