$2.17? For it all? I assume you mean per gallon (4.4 litres i.e. ~50c /litre. not very expenive)?

And yes Slim, I'd rather pay a bit more tax if it is used to provide healthcare for the poor or allows kids to be taken out of poverty.
Originally posted by scottishinnzDo you know what the percent of the tax dollar goes into administration cost, management etc? Wouldnt it be better to eliminate them taxes, and give that same money instead the poor in your local community?

Originally posted by flyUnityI'd love to be able to do that at the moment - it'd make alot more sense for me. Whilst I'm a UK citizen, I live in New Zealand, where I pay 28% personal tax. I have no entitlement to vote (quite right - i'm not a citizen), I pay Road User Charge for the upkeep of roads, and I do not get any health care, and am not entitled for unemployment or any other benefits if I'm incapacitated whilst here. The only thing that I get for my 28% apparently is the police and judicial service (neither of which I've ever used). I'd rather give my $11,000 bucks a year to a charity, but I'm rather forced to prop up the NZ government. Still, as I say, I'm happy to pay tax because there are alot of kids out there in NZ that do live in poverty and need help, so in the longer term I'm reletively happy (especially since I chose to live here in full knowledge of all these things).

Originally posted by scottishinnzDon't have to wait for the taxman scottish, you can give as much as you like to healthcare for poor kids, goooooo for it. Just don't start thinking you have a right to force your values on others via the taxman.

Originally posted by no1marauderWe need law enforcement. I dont mind paying taxes to pave roads, and keep me safe, but what I dont like is to pay all that money for unemployment that promotes laziness, And for me to pay somone not to work is crazy, and as far as healthcare, the system is so screwed up. I bet 50% (just guessing, I dont have the numbers) of that money goes into the goverment employees pockets before it even gets to the needy. I would much rather the goverment drop the welfare, I bet everyone would donate more to the needy because they know the goverment isnt doing it, and would do a better job then the goverment. As you probaly know the goverment cant do anything efficient.

LMFAO!! That's why you have them in charge of the military and law enforcement!!!🙄
Originally posted by WajomaActually, I think you'll find we've got governments (both in the UK and NZ) who think it's right to 'force my opinion' on others - both these governments have social welfare schemes, and both of them were voted into power.
