My taxes versus Your taxes - I'll tell you how they're spent
Discussion
Discussing the state of our pay packets whilst taking wine this evening, I had to point out to Mrs Skywalker that I had come to an agreement with HM Treasury.
This agreement sees the moneystolen taken from me in taxes being used for Good Deeds so that I can sleep well at night, knowing that I am a responsible citizen of this fine land.
Unfortunately for her(and I almost hated to point this); she has not actually got this level of ethical freedom and understanding with the Chancellor.
Whilst my 'hard-earned' is currently contributing to the ongoing running of the cancer centre at our local hospital(where she works), HERS has just been given out to the spouse of one of our eminent MPs as their "salary" for being their wife's "Assistant".
So I now invite the PH Massive to challenge me...
What are your taxes paying for in comparison to mine? Let me tell you...

I dont need you to tell me that MY tax money is spent on.
It used to be Mr Prescotts pie addiction, now its David Millibands action man hair style, Mr Browns glass eye collection, Mr darlings eyebrow tonic and a lot of home office employed fake "police men and women"
Also I pay for rather a lot of the pot holes currently around the nation and a few speed bumps and at least one camera and operator.
They tried to get me to pony up the dough for Blunketts guide dog food but i told them I could not stretch that far.
There is no way my tax goes as far as any on Mandelsons brazillian boy and lambs wool scarf expenses, someone else must front those.

My money (and many others) was used to send local authority councilors to Tuscany to buy a xmas tree which died 3 years later and they had to fly out again to pick another one. Total cost of this was £63468.87.
Pity they couldn't have went to the forest less than 1 mile away which another local council (7 miles away) did, as it only cost them 50 quid for the two trees which looked just as good.

Well my taxes don't seem to get spent on the roads around my way which have been left in a terrible state after two bouts of snow a few months ago...
It probably doesn't bother the councillors as they don't feel the craters in their Range Rovers and don't have to worry about forking out their own cash to repair their vehicles...
