It's funny because you often see people say they'd happily pay more tax to fund the NHS but when it comes down to it people often get really upset when there is a sniff of raised taxes. I think it would be fairer to raise taxes a touch than rob the disabled or elderly personally. And I'm sure those bleeding hearts on the forum who were shouting recently about our foreign aid being vital will be delighted to pay some more tax to cover it. Won't you?
There has already been hike in council tax though, 5.5 per cent (3 per cent to pay for social care) in my Borough in addition to an extra 50 quid to pick up green waste, and what about all the money we are going to save in two years time when we no longer pay into the EU? Where will that money go?
