It is rumoured that the budget will contain 'Airport Departure Levies' to push up the costs of flying. A so-called 'green' form of taxation - we can immediately see the influence of the potty Lib Dems in the ConDem Coalition.Whatever things make life bearable for the average citizen have got to be wrested from them by tax-greedy governments. Cars, a drink, a holiday - all these are to be taken beyond the reach of the poorer members of society.Me? - I'll afford these things and grouse about the extra taxation. For many - it is a not so fond farewell to things which help them get through lives which are otherwise mind-numbing, overworked, underpaid and tedious to the nth degree.
It is just not fair. That the government needs to raise taxation is clear - or is it? Why are the 'sacred cow' quangos not being tackled; why do we remain in the EU? Why is bureaucracy not extirpated from the system?
Post budget. Phew. Common sense prevailed!
