CYBEREVOLUTION

Based on estimates gleaned from the government statistics website….if you take the average “Median” Income for a male in 2006 which works out at approx £550-£580 per month in combined Income Tax, and National Insurance alone then, last year the Government was making £11.6 Billion per month based on an average working population of 20 Million people!  That’s taken from their own Census statistics and not counting anyone under 20 or over 50. 

That’s before we include any non-income related tax.  This would work out at about £180 per head per month for the entire population of the country (rounded down of course as there are no exact figures in here).

I haven’t even looked at any other tax, but it would be safe to say that the government is potentially making between £20-40 Billion per month at our expense, so let’s average it out at say £30 Billion?  That works out at about £500 per month per head based on a current average population of about 60 Million people (and growing).

Sigh my head hurts…there has to be a better way of living than a Salary-to-Tax-to-publicspending-to-live culture revolving around bits of plastic and paper?

Personally based on the above I don’t believe we as a nation are getting value for money, by rights we should ALL be getting support and services worth an average of £4000 per annum..

We should every one of us -  be “allowed” to be responsible for our own security, health and wealfare.  That responsibility has been eroded and taken away by the government and frankly left in a financial and organisational shambles. 

Slowly over the last few years the government have tried to push some of that repsonsibility back to us tax-payers and individuals, using “Environment Issues” as justification (sort you rubbish out into the brown, grey or black bin!), also police your own streets using “Home-Watch” schemes; if you’re lucky you may get a laison officer.  Yet not reducing the per head financial burden one bit! 

Under the current changes to income-tax alone I stand to pay MORE tax from next year not less, and based on the current median salary so does the rest of us!! 

I fear for myself and for the United Kingdom over the next 3 years.  When will this Nation wake up from it’s appathetic slumber?
