Yes I know that the elderly are being hit with cripplingly low interest rates and the poor are having to face higher taxes than they've ever seen, but it's OK - we're all in this together; said David Cameron, working hard to make the most out of his council house and supporting his family on minimum wage.

How he has the nerve to say "we're all in this together." is beyond me. Don't insult my intelligence, you weasel.

Lol, I am in a pretty well off family and we get higher taxes cos we have more money than hobo's and we can be bothed to get off our arses and work...

We are being punished for working well, I hate britain...

Can't believe you said that.

Do you not realise that the richer should get taxed more than the poor? Is it fair that the rich should have to pay the same as people with little or no money?

Your family has to bay a fraction more than the poor, unfortunately. If I had my way, the rich would be taxed proportionately - in relation to their incomes.

Yes I'm a socialist, what you gonna do.

Im past the point of caring what politicians, regardless of political party or country, have to say. There is not a single one of them who deserves their position or can be given any credibility. The very nature of the job requires a person to be shady, backstabbing liars. Its been this way since the beginning of politics thousands of years ago and it will be this way for thousands of years to come.

You should pay less because you can afford to pay more? Great logic there. Im not at all for giving handouts to people who refuse to get themseleves a job, but that arguement is and has always been rediculous.

Fettucini I'm glad you're a raging communist like me.

Me? a commie? I couldnt be more AGAINST communism. I believe if you want something you should earn it. I believe government handouts do nothing but give people a false sense of entitlement and encourages laziness and complacency in society, which leads to, just as one example, an inferior skilled workforce, or an almost complete lack of one in the case of the USSR.

Like I said, I shula pay the same, what makes me personally different

Just cos I have more money why should I get penalised for doing well in life?

When others are let off for sitting on thier arse...

I'm joking don't worry <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f61b.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":p">:p</object>

EDIT: Barney, you pay more because you can afford it. You will still have tons more than the poor, it's not like you'r wages are being leveled.
