I do not "take" anything from my fellow man in the manner you mean. I have
no problem paying tax within the UK/EU system... as long as it is managed
democratically. I vote for governments who tax and spend in the way I find
acceptable... I am sure you do just the same? It appears to me that is the
areas where tax should spent which is where we differ on?
