First of all -
let me declare that I am blessed mightily by God's provision and I envy no man
because of his possessions.
Even so, it is very annoying that so much of our money is drained from us,
often without us even seeing it.
Where does our money go? Where are the bottomless pits?
1) The worst drain of all of course, is simply the EU. This is fact proven
times-a-many on this Blog.
2) Quangos bleed huge amounts from the Exchequer - and whilst many do have
worthwhile functions - many do not. Those which do are frequently over-manned.
3) Overseas aid is wickedly ill-targeted.
4) The black economy costs us all far too much.
5) Tax dodgers cost us money.
6) The scrotes who misuse and abuse the benefits system cost us all
money.
7) Crime costs us money - whether in expensive crime prevention measures we
have to take in our homes or the 'shrinkage' which adds 2%+ to our supermarket
bills.
8) Rip-off merchants have never been more in evidence from phone companies
to gas suppliers, from supermarkets to insurance companies.
9) Banks and investment companies pay absurd rates on savings.
10) Councils and governments continue to overspend on bureaucracy and
'nutty' projects.
11) Humongous sums of our money used 'changing back' a climate which hadn't
changed in the first place!
And so it goes on!
