Call it what you will. When I am forced to pay the state out of my income, I call it "tax", because that's what it is. I guess you could call it a fine, if you wanted to. tax taks/ noun 1. a compulsory contribution to state revenue, levied by the government on workers' income and business profits or added to the cost of some goods, services, and transactions.

As for obfuscating the issues I would argue that you like to dangerously oversimplify and advocate "solutions" without considering the side effects. The libertarian schtick is to want to party on down and be a nuisance to the neighbours, then do a flit and leave the landlord to clean up the mess and pay for the damage.

I guess we shall just have to agree to differ on public healthcare
We're generally happy with what we've got and we'll have to let vannax find his own path. It's not exactly "something noticeable this week" so perhaps we need a new topic. But I would just add one thing I noticed during the "Obamacare" era in the U.S. The discussion seemed sometimes to suggest that healthcare in U.K. and Europe was entirely publically owned - which is not true. You can go private if you wish - always could. I have had two hernias fixed at my own expense. But, speaking as a higher rate tax payer for most of my life, I have no problem with other people having the same op within the NHS system. Thanks for a lively discussion as ever vannax. |

I think we all need solidarity, but the first thing to teach should be :
move your ass and you will find. |

It is not about the ban, it is because he breached Parliamentary procedure by making it public, he is not allowed to introduce his own agenda, and this is Bercow looking to his retirement, he is about as principled as a piranha in a carp pond!
