Originally posted by AtW View PostWhat puzzles me is that there are way too many people who think everything should be taxed, ffs, why? For example wtf there is a tax on inheritance? If someone earned their money and paid all taxes due (such as income tax or capital gains tax) then it should be their *****ing right to give that money to whoever they deem appropriate without any extra taxes - it's their ****ing money after all.Comment

I avoid paying tax as much as possible. If I had my way there would be no income tax and you have to pay for everything you get (healthcare, schooling etc).
- I have no kids - no free schooling required
- I look after myself and don't drive dangerously - no healthcare costs for me so far in my entire life (apart from Dr which I pay for)
- I don't do crime, so don't cost the justice department anything
So why should I be supporting a bunch of other people??? Sod that. I have already well and truly paid my way from all the tax I have paid, so no more.
And I have a tax-free plan as well, but it requires several passports (which I have) and lots of moving...Comment

But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
