These include: ... * Maintenance of roads and bridges * Traffic management and road safety Some cyclists undoubtedly do pay council and income tax, but how many are on benefits, hence they pay nothing? And these same people on benefits get their bins emptied, free schooling for their kid, access to libraries and the emergency services if they need them. Want that lot taken away as well? |

So some poor sod who was sacked because their employer moved overseas to avoid a bit of tax deserves to have his house burned down and his wife die if she accidentally falls down the stars? How... charitable of you. |

You are not allowed to use your vehicle if your 'road tax' is fully paid up but you have no MOT or insurance, bald tyres or not wearing glasses 'cause you broke them. Those are not types of road tax. how much more specific can it be? Every penny goes to the government to be spent as they see fit, whether for repairing roads, bailing out banks or giving some immigrant housing benefit. How much more non-specific can it be? |

How... charitable of you. why rely on the state to look after you? It would be nice if unemployment was virtually unheard of and the minimum wage was £50 per hour, but it's not. Paying directly for education, roads, hospitals, street lighting and the multitude of other things the council tax pays for would bankrupt most workers. The real decline of this country came as soon as the Welfare State came in after WW2. AFAIC that was the day this country came out of the dark ages, abolishment of the workhouse system for one example. It might have become an easy answer to some, but it was and still is there for the benefit (pardon the pun) of the nation as a whole. |
