I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is
like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the
handle.

Would someone care to mention this to the Red Prez?

[Get Real!]

Tax in Winston Churchill’s days was a much simpler affair.

I know he is a favorite of many Englishmen but we need to remember that he's from another era!

... many things!

But unfortunately, he was responsible for the unnecessary deaths of too many people in the 20th century.

Bad!

Tax is tax is tax whether levied by Ceasar Agustus or Christoffeearse, which should be levied simplyb to maintain the minimum neccassary government services: unfortunately here in CY far too much goes on Jobs for the Boys, at a vast rate of pay that so many would simply fail to acheive in the private sector.

That's a nonsensical accusation since all the services provided through raising taxes are far superior in Cyprus than in many Western countries.

Bullshit - look for example at Public money poured into that failing enterprise Cyprus Airways: I do not think we otherwise get good value for money from our cilivil service which is so often seen as a beaurocratic nightmare, vastly overstaffed and where the increasing burden on the taxpayers of Cyprus is increasingly unaffordable.

Rubbish. CA is only one company. Compare the amount of money poured into the nationalized Banks in the UK using billions of Taxpayers' money and what do you have? The NHS is dead. UK schools are out. Unis are defunct. Also, tell me which country is happy with its bureaucratic civil service? The French one is supposed to be one of the best but I have found it 100 times worse than even dealing with the much maligned Greek system - and the Cypriot one is a piece of cake.

You just don't know when you've got it good, stud.

Just remembered one of the most disgusting highway robberies enacted on the British public, who on the whole accept it like rats in a maze. A friend of mine's mum has just been diagnosed with Dementia and she has to go into a nursing home for care. Well, her family home of 60 years is being sold to pay for this. Some £500,000 pocketed by the Council. Has this ever happened in Cyprus?

Rubbish, Cyprus has cornered the market in corruption, thank God the Brit MEPs have made the EU kick ass over the corrupt title deed issue, Long Live The EU
