TAXATION CRITERION

TAXATION

The wild hysteria in respect of 'taxation' now prevailing in the Great Britain is positively obscene. With everyone in the country, being wholly concerned and transfixed with the very notion and, 'disease', that, "Someone is earning much more", than they are themselves. The very 'notions' of sheer jealousy and greed.

 

Even, Government, Politicians, and 'tax' so-called 'experts' in the business of high finance, cannot positively determine the actual defining line between "tax avoidance" which is perfectly lawful; and, "tax evasion", that is unlawful.

 

It is therefore absolutely imperative that there should now be a full and thorough, "NATIONAL TAXATION DEBATE", in order to determine, (a), exactly and precisely what the taxation is actually being imposed for; and, (b), how the taxation imposed is actually authorised. Is it merely to be, by the 'diktat' of government? Or, by the FREE VOTE of an elected "People's Parliament"?

 

This determining in "LAW" what the taxation is really for is most important because the history of recent 'Governments' has shown how government has wasted 'The People's' taxation money imposed, on it's own ideological objectives; or, on activities and schemes, not really necessary for the country. Such as this proposal by the present government:

 

The government has recently announced that it is proposing to spend, 197 BILLION POUNDS, on nuclear weaponry.

 

30 BILLION POUNDS for the building of four new nuclear submarines; and,

 

167 BILLION POUNDS for the renewal and improvement of the Trident nuclear missile system."

 

Nuclear weaponry, that the country does not really need.

 

In determining that the country does 'not need' this nuclear weaponry; it is only necessary to establish and rebut the actual governments claim for why this expenditure is required. Examine the governments claim.

 

The government claims that it is imperative to spend this enormous sum of money, in order to maintain and enhance the, "NUCLEAR DETERRENT"

 

But, having the nuclear 'bomb' capability to 'allegedly' deter an enemy's nuclear missile from hitting the country; doesn't, deter at all. Nothing can 'deter' a nuclear missile launched and aimed at the country at all; the 'STAR WARS' receptions of missiles in flight, has not yet been invented or perfected to date; so nothing can prevent or deter any nuclear missile aimed at the country. The 'alleged' British, "NUCLEAR DETERRENT", is therefore no 'deterrent' at all; it is merely the weapon of, REVENGE.

 

"Fire a nuclear missile at Great Britain; we will retaliate by firing a nuclear missile at you, in revenge"; resulting in, MUTUALLY ASSURED NUCLEAR DESTRUCTION.

Assume as a point of interest what would happen if the,  "Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorists" ever got their hands on the nuclear weapon; they would have no hesitation in firing those missiles at Great Britain; because, their perversion of their religion, ISLAM; and, as predicated by the "Quran"; instructs them to destroy unbelievers. Promising them the reward, of a place in "Paradise", with the Prophet Mohammed. For, killing, as many unbelievers as they can. The, "Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorist", does not fear "DEATH"; they welcome it. They would have no hesitation in firing nuclear missiles at Great Britain.

 

Assume then, that they do; and, assume, that we fire our nuclear weapons in retaliation; we would be killing millions of wholly innocent people; because we could not specifically kill the terrorists alone. Our, revenge nuclear weapon, would kill everyone where the weapon lands and explodes.

 

I want no part in this.

 

That is why, "197 BILLION POUNDS" of taxpayers money should not be spent in this way. That is why it is essential now to have this, "NATIONAL TAXATION DEBATE".

 

I urge the whole country to demand it.
