Taxed to the hilt

I guess many of you heard how much the govt take when you spend 100e worth of fuel?

57 euro goes to the bunch of greedy politicians who are all wealthy. Oh, of course, it does not go to them directly, it goes into the countries coffers.......then gets shared out among the elite.

5e increase for unemployed and a miserly increase in minimum wage. By the time you pay the extra cost of a bag of coal it is gone on 2 bags, leaving you to pay for the rest of the tax rises out of the crappy wage you were getting to start off with.

I bet you any money the politicians will be getting more than 5e per week increase though.

This country is stuck in a time-warp. Old people dictate as to how we should live and work, and many of them never worked themselves! In the last 20 years there has been no significant increase in the amount of quality jobs that are not on minimum wage.....especially in rural areas.

No wonder the Irish left this country in their droves, there's nothing here for them.

I did put up a post about minimum wage, but as per usual, those that are not on minimum wage stated that, "that is all they're worth". What a bunch of old-fashioned, dictatorial, stuck-up wasters, those people are. They care not about people, they see them as some form of tool to be used then discarded when not wanted. They even treat their own fellow man like they are simply slaves.

Have you noticed the pattern that has been going on for centuries? Promise the working class change for the better, then when elected....tax them more.....discreetly.

There has to come a day when the final straw will break your back, it is fast approaching. How long can you keep paying out more but getting no more in your income? will you wait until you are evicted? will you wait until there is no food? Maybe you will, as most working class are sheep. They believe what they are told by politicians and the minions of that govt that are alive and kicking on forums such as these.

There is no fairness in the world, get that through your heads. Govts see unemployed as people they could do without, they see the minimum wage earners as canon fodder, they see middle class as wannabees. The only people govt see as worthy of anything.......are themselves, and that is what they do.....treat themselves.

You carry on in your minimum wage job, thinking you are thought of differently as the unemployed are. Thing is, you are not really thought of any differently, as you have what the unemployed have...but you are working for it...and you pay for your medical on top!

So the next time you put 20e of fuel in your car/bike, thank the govt for taking over half that to pay for their own upkeep and rises. Forget about the tax you pay on everything else, you agreed to that by voting for them.

This is no democracy, it is simply dictatorship in sheeps clothing.
