Tax Rip-Off

Those of you eagerly awaiting the appearance of FC mag #38 (hold fast hardy souls - it's out very soon!) may know that there's a partial theme to this new issue on the subject of taxation - with a feature exposing the immorality of local taxation and another exposing the role of the international banksters/usurers.

It's a subject that cannot be ignored by anyone - let alone anyone claiming to be a patriot or nationalist. Anyone willfully ignoring the subject has been bought and sold by the enemy... or may as well be!

In this matter of illegality (usury banking was illegal for centuries) ignorance should be no defence... because usury banking has caused more wars, resulted in more closed hospitals, and more repossessions and suicides than any other factor/cause out there.

Well, this week was budget day in the UK, and so we witnessed the dour Gordon Brown get to his feet and waffle on about tax. He cut the bottom layer of tax, meaning the poor would pay income tax at the higher rate.

He then went on to cut income tax from 22p in the pound to 20p.

It was a con-job. A juggling act. He robbed Peter to pay Paul. Some will be better off, some will be worse off. It didn't stop The Sun from running with a front page spread praising a "tax cut" as Rupert "The Dirty Digger" Murdoch continues to prop up the Neo-Con Blair/Brown axis that is Nu-Labour.

As usual all the newspapers, other media, politicians and pundits totally ignored the bigger picture.

We are taxed to the hilt!


Gordon Brown daren't take tax out of one source, e.g. put it all on VAT, or put it all on income tax.

If he did we'd all realise - in an instant! - just how taxed we are!

I read somewhere some time ago that the working man works the first 5 or 6 months of the year just paying his tax bill, i.e. the tax burden on the working man is circa 40 - 50%.

Why?

We all know Westminster is a giant sponge, that umpteen bureaucrats and acolytes are on the take - free transport, glitzy does, free meals and so on - ad nauseum.

Then there's the wasted billions. Trident, Olympics, Millennium Dome, NHS PFI schemes... etc.

But these, sad to say dear reader, pale in sigificance (is that a racist saying? I hope so...) with the biggest con of all, which runs into multi-billions and multi-trillions.

I won't spoil the next FC mag for you (it's more than my life's worth, a certain Mr. R. Ron would come a-callin'), but take a quick look at the budget figures given to us mere mortals from the gods in their Westminster and City ivory towers.

Look at this graph.

Gordon Brown is borrowing more and more to prop up an economy that would otherwise be heading downwards following on America's coat-tails.

Some talking head on BBC News 24 yesterday said that Gordon Brown had stated he wanted to borrow circa £20 Billion, but ended up borrowing circa £120 Billion - I didn't catch the time-frame but I think it was over the last three years or so...

If my personal finances were run like that I think Mr. Bailiff might come a-callin' (just after Ranting Ron!)

The difference is that Gordon Brown is playing with all our lives, all our homes, all our jobs...

Here's another graph (you can't have too many you know!). This one is from HM Treasury's Pre-Budget Report 2004. You'll see that debt interest is repaid at £24 Billion. This graph is more honest than most. You see, they usually mention "repayments" or some-such nomenclature in place of the more honest "debt interest."

This is worse than any personal finances... this is akin to the Chancellor paying less than the minimum repayment amount on his own Credit Card... and so the percentage charged goes up.

Don't think that the £24 Billion is the debt repaid, nor even that it is the entire interest bill of the debt -- it is just what Gordon Brown saw fit to pay off.

In the figures given to us for yesterday, we were told that Mr. Brown borrowed £34 Billion last year. At the same time he repaid debt interest to the tune of £30 Billion.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

He borrowed £34 Billion (at interest!) and repaid £30 Billion.

The repayments are going to go on and on, and the banks can bring this country to its knees whenever they like by foreclosing on the loans.

Read the next FC mag. Read the booklet The Guernsey Experiment (available from FC) and you'll understand clearly that the government DOES NOT NEED TO BORROW ANY MONEY!

With no debts and no borrowing the government of the UK - like the government of Guernsey - can carry out more public works, can vastly reduce income tax... and break free of usury banking.

Put it this way - last year the government raised £23 Billion thru Council Tax, to repay £30 Billion to the banks.

Stop the swindle and hence stop the repayments and there's no need for Council Tax!

How many pensioners would appreciate that?

The problem is that Mr. Brown puts the rights of the banks to make Billions in absolute profits (it costs them NOTHING to issue bits of paper) before the rights of pensioners to live free of debt.

Everytime a pensioner freezes to death - Gordon Brown and the banking swindle bear the blame.

Remember that simple fact and you can't go wrong.

Meanwhile the BBC, The Sun and Westminster continue to juggle the figures like a Titanic deckchair attendant arguing over his rates-per-hour.

THE OLD SONG

(G.K. Chesterton)


A livid sky on London
And like the iron steeds that rear
A shock of engines halted
And I knew the end was near:
And something said that far away, over the hills and far away
There came a crawling thunder and the end of all things here.
For London Bridge is broken down, broken down, broken down,
As digging lets the daylight on the suken streets of yore,
The lightning looked on London town, the broken bridge of London town.
The ending of a broken road where men shall go no more.

I saw the kings of London town,
The kings that buy and sell,
That built it up with penny loaves
And penny lies as well:

And where the streets were paved with gold the shrivelled paper
shone for gold,
The scorching light of promises that pave the streets of hell.
For penny loaves will melt away, melt away, melt away,
Mock the men that haggled in the grain they did not grow;
With hungry faces in the gate, a hundred thousand in the gate,
A thunder-flash on London and the finding of the foe.

I heard the hundred pin-makers
Slow down their racking din,
Till in the stillness men could hear
The dropping of the pin:
And somewhere men without the wall, beneath the wood, without
the wall,
Had found the place where London ends and England can begin.
For pins and needles bend and break, bend and break, bend and break,
Faster than the breaking spears or the bending of the bow,
Of pagents pale in thunder-light, 'twixt thunderload and thunderlight,
The Hundreds marching on the hills in the wars of long ago.

I saw great Cobbett riding,
The horseman of the shires;
And his face was red with judgement
And a light of Luddite fires:
And south to Sussex and the sea the lights leapt up for liberty,
The trumpet of the yeomanry, the hammer of the squires;
For bars of iron rust away, rust away, rust away,
Rend before the hammer and the horseman riding in,
Crying that all men at the last, and at the worst and at the last,
Have found the place where England ends and England can begin.

His horse-hoofs go before you
Far beyond your bursting tyres;
And time is bridged behind him
And our sons are with our sires.

A trailing meteor on the Downs he rides above the rotting towns,
The Horseman of Apocalypse, the Rider of the Shires.
For London Bridge is broken down, broken down, broken down;
Blow the horn of Huntington from Scotland to the sea --
...Only flash of thunder-light, a flying dream of thunder-light,
Had shown under the shattered sky a people that were free.

PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE ISITFAIR COUNCIL TAX PROTEST GROUP

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

[start of press release]

ISITFAIR CAMPAIGN'S REACTION TO LYONS INQUIRY REPORT

Christine Melsom, founder of the Isitfair Council Tax protest group, issued the following statement following yesterday's publication of the final report of the Lyons Inquiry into Local Government.

"We've waited 3 years for their recommendations and we can find very few crumbs of comfort for supporters of Isitfair. We will continue to campaign for a fairer system of taxation for local services.

The recommendations, if ever implemented, may help some of those who currently struggle to meet their bills but they fail to address the root causes of the growing opposition to Council Tax and are no more than a patching up exercise.

The Lyons Inquiry acknowledges the unfairness of Council Tax but was unwilling to bite the bullet and propose any radical change for the foreseeable future.

Their proposals for additional bands are merely tinkering with the present system. People living in large houses are not necessarily rich and people living in low banded houses are not necessarily poor. The inherent unfairness of the present system cannot be addressed by a few changes to property bands.

We strongly oppose the proposed removal of capping on Council Tax increases as long as the present system remains. This would inevitably be the green light for councils to impose further massive hikes in Council Tax.

We then have the prospect of additional charges for waste collection and also a proposed tourist tax. We believe the cost of collecting and administering such taxes would be disproportionate to the amount of additional tax being raised.

We welcome the proposal to increase the savings limit for Council Tax Benefit eligibility as a short term measure. However if the tax was related to income and/or spending the complete Council Tax Benefits system would be irrelevant as would the need for regular property revaluations.

Isitfair is sometimes wrongly portrayed as a campaign only for pensioners - we do not support an entitlement to a reduction in Council Tax based solely on age. There are many non-pensioners struggling to pay this tax, and there are also some pensioners for whom Council Tax is a trivial expense. Isitfair represents people of all age groups who are being unfairly affected by Council Tax and we want a fairer system for everyone.

We have published our own "Alternative Lyons Report", an independent study conducted for Isitfair, which can be found at http://www.isitfair.co.uk/MichealBoon/mb_page.asp "

Council Tax is unfair - but when you understand the amount of money that is paid in bank debts/loans via central and local government, the scale of the injustice becomes evident.

Why do pensioners and others suffer tax hikes just to keep banksters ultra-rich, as well as councillors on freebies, beanos and jollies.

[not to mention funding pc scandals such as homosexual help-lines, teaching English to immigrants etc.]
