I posted a couple of weeks back on how weird it is to have my ISA rates dropped ..again... and the building society encourages me to leave .
Surely a building society functions by holding people's saving , with interest at 1% say .... and lending to housebuyers at 2% .
I also posted once on how the average working man , say semi - skilled /wife /kids /house /car/ hardly keeps his head above water .
HM Gov takes two big slices off his wages before he gets it ...... claws even more back every time he fills the car / taxes the car/ insures the car/ buys anything at a wopping 20% VAT tax / another wopper if he smokes or drinks / another one to watch TV for a year .......then his local council nail him for local taxes .
HM Gov don't like the self employed , they lose some control , Communism is about control , everyone working for the State , the Common Good , everyone controlled & in their place .
A SE plumber / sparky etc might do a job for this dreadful thing called "Cash " OMG!!!!! Or what if you did a job for a farmer who paid you in chicken , lamb & eggs ...how can we tax that !!!
Prime Minister John Major said that the working man should have , at the end of the working week , at least a little cash jingling in his pocket to spend as he wished .
He did bugger all about it .........but at least he said it ...I heard him.
