Vote for higher income tax, much fairer system, and get cheaper fuel. Vote for low income tax, unfairer system, and get high priced fuel. The tax for all those things the state is expected to provide, health service, schools,police, army, planes,ships,..etc etc.. has to be gathered. Brits vote for low income tax everytime....so the fat cats pay less and the poor cats pay more through indirect taxes. It's the nation's choice, but the nation's people don't seem to understand how things get paid for!
