we're robbed 24% tax on your wages unless you earn over 38k then you pay 40% tax.. then there's compulsory national insurance which is another few %

our government are a bunch of robbing wh0res!! besides water, electic, gas, internet, phone, tv channels etc you got:

-a yearly tax to keep a car on the road - 390 dollors
-have to pay council tax TO LIVE under a roof - approx 220 dollors a month
-17.5% tax or VAT on whatever i buy
-even have to pay for a license to own and use a TV!!! 215 dollors and that only gives you 4 free tv channels!!!
-and there is 81% tax on fuel!!!

as an example .. it costs me £55 to fill my 13 gallon fuel tank, which at the current exchange rate is 112 dollors. the passat is giving me 48-63mpg depending where and how i drive. think thats expensive? the silver wrx you can see above was doing approx 4-12 mpg because the previous owner blew £6k or over 12k dollors making the engine drink fuel, but greatfully faster. i was going through over £120 of fuel a week with the scooby, thats an upsetting 245 dollors a week

just so you know i am looking to emigrate!
Where canada? The US? Pretty much anywhere you get your balls practically taxed off these days....
