Here’s a post that many of you will relate to right now. For many years I’ve managed to have a pretty good standard of living through career progression and then being self employed. I’ve always worked hard and have enjoyed a few decent holidays, nights out, got on the property ladder in my twenties and largely always found a way to be reasonably comfortable financially.
But recently, things have changed.
Despite the fact that my annual income is significantly higher than it was in my twenties, I feel significantly poorer than in my twenties. And that’s because the cost of living is completely out of control. And the cost of living is out of control on the basic essentials of energy and food prices. This is combined with a horrendous tax burden - now at record levels.
If we were paying all of this tax and getting a return on investment then at least there’s a social contract of trust between the taxpayer and government. But there’s not. Instead we are paying record amounts of overall taxation and the country is rotting. Nothing works. Public services have diminished and infrastructures are rotting. The decay is everywhere.
I am not alone in saying this. Everyone I speak to is saying the same thing. We are all working our arses off just to keep our heads above water while paying governments extortionate amounts of money for them to make our lives worse.
And for all of this, I blame successive Tory and Labour governments. They have let the country rot. And they’ve sold our assets to multinational corporations. And they’ve made some terrible policy decisions that have cost the taxpayer a fortune. They’ve spaffed away our hard earned tax money on wars, corporate contracts, numerous crisis situations that they created and have feathered their own nests with power and money in the process. They’ve brought Britain to its knees by wilful incompetence and managed decline for corporate greed and we are all paying the price.
At some point we must stop focusing on who needs to pay more tax and instead focus on where all of our tax money is going.
The mood across Britain is unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed before. But it’s not the fault of the people. It’s the fault of government. And don’t ever let these bastards tell you otherwise.
@ElijahKyama_ Using Mourinho to defend your coach is the stipidest position you could possibly take 🤣🤣. I’ll tell you why, if Mourinho was coach (15 years past his best) Man Yoo wouldn’t be 15th in the league
