Fed up paying too much income tax in the UK

Over taxed by 'New Labour'

Here in the UK we are taxed to the hilt

Well I think we are. They might as well mug me and take what money I have, because once I've paid my tax they've taken a huge chunk out of my monthly salary, or so it seems!



Hmmm where can I begin... Oh I know, over 60% tax every month! Okay, I exaggerate a bit here but that’s exactly what it feels like. I just wish that tax bands were worked out properly instead of leeching from those who want to work hard.

29-2-2008People, you voted New Labour into power. The over-taxation is to pay for illegal wars, immigrants, criminals and other degenerates, including junkies.
