Ripped off?

What do you think VAT pays for? Perhaps you could do without the
health service, roads, the armed forces and so on, but I doubt if
many would.


I've no problem paying for those things, along with education, sensible
welfare scheme etc. However, I'd like to stem some of the other areas the
money goes.
Like the millions being sent to rebuild bridges in a country that harbours
terrorists. And don't get me started on the money we fritter away in Europe.
