A fairer system re the taxes we pay. I completely agree with it. #QuestionTime
Why is it that the rich keep getting richer and the ordinary people who work hard for a living, struggle to make ends meet, even though they work hard?
How is it that unemployed people, can afford to run a car? I was not able to afford to run a car when I did not have a job.
It seems to me that it is the ordinary folk who work hard for a living, are the people who get stung for higher taxes etc. We need a much fairer system then we have presently!
I have always driven an oldish vehicle until It becomes too expensive for me to repair it and then I exchange it for another old vehicle. I have never driven a new car. It cost me £700 to put my car through its last MOT, last year!
When you look around you and you can see people who do not go to work for a living, being able to afford better vehicles than you, yes it does make you feel lousy and tired because you can’t afford to do the same, even though you go out to work all day.
I have worked hard for a living, for much of my working life. I gave up full-time work briefly, when I was married, to care for our children. My ex-husband was a shift worker. I then went back to work full-time, however, we were in the process of divorcing at that time (18 years ago). We hit hard times financially because Police families struggled. It is not easy raising a young family when you have a husband who is a shift worker. It made it awkward for me to find a job that fitted in with our family life, at that time.
Of course, I feel envious when I see ordinary people who do not work for a living, those who can work, who claim benefits and sing on smule/play on the internet all day, but who will not go to work for a living, as I have to, being able to afford better cars etc, than I have!
I have never claimed any unemployment benefits. I started my working life at the age of 16 years old. I did any reputable job, just to get into a full-time job.
I am for the ordinary folk who work hard for a living!
