Sounds fair to me. That would be true if Eastwood was a true Lbertarian...he was a registered Republican at one point and he supported GOP candidates McCain and then Romney in 2012 and is in favour of gun control.......While he does support many liberal agendas he is not a real Libertarian IMHO..........that being said he does seem to be more liberal than conservative to me based on his beliefs......

Yeah i was gonna point out that hes not the best example in terms of his publically stated stances. Liberal and Libertarian have taken on different contexts in American public life i find.

Well its like this when you've worked to earn something, been taxed for it already before you get to it, having started from the ground up and been working all your life to secure a future for your kids...and after all that you're done out of 100k, which then has to get split 3 or 4 ways depending on how many kids you've got, not really fair to my reckoning. Theres this presumption that anyone who has money got it by some sort of freak luck, well that aint the case, some people work night and day, sacrifice fun and social life, ruin their health to build something out of nothing, pay taxes on it already...and then when you pass on you get robbed, to my reckoning that aint fair. And then people wonder why all these tax avoidance set ups go on Edited November 16, 2016 by Len Cnut 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try running a business and doing it, not only do you have a fuckin' first 11 of bins but you have to get these special bin bags off the council, at a couple of quid a throw, that you put your muck in.

My sister moved house recently and she had to buy her own bin. If you get a large amount of rubbish removed, broken furniture etc, you pay extra, for around £25! So what again are council taxes for? The only time you ever see a policeman is in a sandwich shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janrichmond Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I didn't know about the inheritance tax @Len Cnut So anything over £350,000 is 40 percent?? That's taking the piss! There's not much you can get with £350,000 so MOST people will have to pay that amount?? Or have i just totally misunderstood that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine some of ours eat doughnuts also, but here, bacon butties - or as they say in Dazey's neck-of-the-woods, bacon bombs - are the prevalent choice of food for the British bobby, or, if they're feeling really decadent, the Breakfast sandwich which is basically a sandwich with an entire English breakfast stuffed inside!
