Re: The Price Of Oil !
I think that I am wandering a long way from the price of oil .... but we have billions of barrels of the stuff still in the ground, so we don't worry about the price of oil, just the level of govt. taxation on the stuff. Unlike some in the US, most of us prefer to have free health care and good access to education than cheap oil and gas. Our Liberal party is proposing a new revenue neutral tax scheme that looks interesting, and is receiving the nod from both the left wing and the right.

Be careful what you wish for. In a democracy, individual rights are irrelevant. If the majority votes that half of your income be confiscated before you can even buy groceries.....well, what are you going to do then? |

What sane group would vote to lose half their income before even getting access to it?:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38: |
Re: The Price Of Oil !
the well paid who are on 40% tax and NI and then all the tax that we already pay. They don't have a chance because there isn't a party that will change any of that.

No sane person does......yet it still happens. I was merely making the point that democracy is mob rule, which makes it a very dangerous form of government. But what care you if the majority vote comes at the expense of the minority. To paraphrase one of Cyfr's favorite quotes..... "Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner." 'Tis better, I think, to restrain the wolves and arm the sheep. |
