enlightened us thusly:

I get angry when I hear about plans to charge for motorway use or an extra
tax to pay for the disposal of abandonned cars. The motorist is already
paying for so many other things as well as the roads.

Yes but so are us smokers and beer drinkers as well. Taxes are designed to
raise money. The veneer of fairness is a veneer - that's all.


what's really wrong is the mount of such money that's wasted. We have a
fairly high tax burden overall in this country, though not, I think, as high
as some. But the level of services etc. we receive falls short.
