Actually Poll tax sounds pretty good to me at the moment, the big problem would be setting it at a reasonable level.

Another question, why the hell am I paying for a ll these youth groups, community centres, business grants blah blah balh when they are nowhere near to me and I can not access them, is that suppose to be fair because I'm working 7 days a week to keep my own family instead of claiming benefits? Rant over

No, I completely agree with you, I wasn't defending the system only trying to explain the reasoning behind it.
