Mikes writes " nobody wants to pay for it", sorry ? we allready pay approximately 47% of our income in taxes each year, thats darn nearly half of what we earn !!! and you want to pay more ?? there are a lot of ways for the goverment to save money starting with not giving themselves 39% pay increases and now refusing to identify perks etc that they get.
I know you are just trying to wind things up Mikes but try and show some commonsense, remember the old proverb about killing the golden goose, you can only keep overtaxing people for so long before it does drive the economy underground.
If the ordinary small business ran like government does then as we need more money we would just keep raising prices, where would it end, we have to be competitve, government does not, it beleives it has a never ending money source, TAXES, and like well behaved sheep we keep going along with them, never trying to fight back, this petition is the chance to fight back.
