Re. The whole no tax thing.

When roaming armed gangs are invading your property because there’s no police.

Foreign invaders march unopposed down your high street.

Infrastructure, bridges, roads etc. Become unusable through lack of investment.

 

See what use your little bits of paper with numbers are to you then.

There's a certain theoretical appeal to anarchy though Mick.  Circle the wagons, centralise  the ammo, ready the weapons and settle down for a right good tear up.  Certainly clear the decks of all the ill prepared wasters and career protesters that survive off the very dole cheque which represents the system they often openly despise...

Yes, I’m aware of the ‘don’t ask the rich to pay their way or they’ll leave’ trope.

 

It's the reality though. And TX & FL are booming because of it. And the ordinary people seem to experience the effects too, cos they voted heavily for more of the same policies in the midterms, in TX & FL.

You’re a prepper KJ, Just in Devon rather than Texarkana!

Tax the sh*t that everyone knows is bad, fags, booze, cake, plastic bags, petrol save the planet!

 

Tax petrol too much and you kill the economy.

 

Tax fags too much and you get bootlegs. And kill the revenue from fags.

 

Your move.

You've visited down here recently then.

 

I've not read the whole thread but what annoys me along with the ever increasing tax burden is the ever decreasing services. Police will not come out to investigate a crime because they've centralised their unit and we're too far away. Roads are so bad you need a 4x4 to get down your road (the last pothole repair was a smear of tarmac on the edge of the pothole and that involved two transits and a lorry and took an hour). Etc, etc.
