Not everyone contributes tax and not everyone contributes more than they get out. In fact most don’t. There is more to society than just tax and people don’t contribute to the UK.

Also it isn’t about making people do a specific job. It’s in the article.

Have you ever bought luxury goods such as most food or clothes? Well then, you paid VAT. I’d love to hear what stats you’re pulling out of your arse that say otherwise!

Most people take more from the government than they pay in.

Look it up.

UK Politics

Create post

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
