In a few words: Bit of a bore, frustrated, smoke too much, work too much and pay too much in TAX. Hate this Government with a passion.

Should avaricious Labour cut fuel tax.

Published: Sunday May 25,2008 by bobdee

Ofcourse they should, I'm a self employed owner driver of a 38ton artic, it does on average 7 miles to the gallon, so for me to travel 7 miles it costs me nearly 6 quid, absolutely diabolical, disgusting, the wagon can generate about £60,000 a year of which the Government take about £38,000 in taxes, I take £15,000 and they take another £6,000 of that, the £7,000 thats left goes on servicing etc. so at the end of the day, I buy the wagon, tax and insure it, I do all the work, they get £44,000 and I get £9,000 should be the other way round.
These degenerates will never reduce the fuel tax, it's too much of an earner for them and they need the money to pay for the Civil Services Gold Plated pensions, I believe THAT now costs us £1trillion a year and is set to increase by £27 billion next year and £26 billion the year after that. Anyway, like someone else said, soon I won't be able to afford to go to work, so I'll just have to live off the state. Does that mean I'll have to vote Labour ?, Sorry, I'd rather starve.
