The new government – good accomplishments and bad?

Or the government needs to stop squandering taxpayer's money - like overseas aid to nations with ambitious space programmes, or billions in armaments for wars that are no concern of ours, vanity rail building programmes etc., etc., etc.

Opinions, opinions.

We all have our favourite projects, and others we detest.

None of us actually carry the responsibility for making the decisions.

The government does. Which we, collectively, chose.

An effective way of closing down discussion then. The same didn't seem to apply when Trump was being criticised when in office.

Giving more tax to governments is like giving whisky to an alcoholic.

Whole layers of so called 'government' should be abolished along with most quangos.

Government should be limited to the essentials, state spending and taxation should be massively cut.

We are all likely to be “pissed off”! Everyone benefits when the economy is doing well, but suffers when it isn’t.

It’s not our job to decide what is “unjust”. It’s our government’s job to balance the books and decide how to do that.

Your own bias shines through your post as it does that of others here. No one escapes, or pays, taxes because they belong to an ethnic group. They do so on income.

Of course I’m biased. So are you and so is everyone. It’s a human habit that will and has always been there !
