The NHS

Boomers also seem to be pathologically unable to pay tax.

Despite the fact that the vast majority of health care costs fall because of them.


The other grouping that cause uneven costs on healthcare is children. they, however, dont have in a lot of cases assets.


'OOOh, my house is for my kids!'

'So you don't want to pay someone to wipe your arse then?'

What tax do you think should be paid for bottom wiping?

You seem to disagree with many taxes but dont actually suggest how social care and the NHS are paid for instead.

Inheritance tax is just taxing money that's already been taxed.

Earn it - pay tax
Spend it - pay tax
Save it - pay tax
Snuff it - pay tax

Can't be arsed to work - given free money

I seem to remember you bitching about some tax when I pointed out that care for the oldies has to be paid some how and that was the point when you erroneously announced that I hated old people.

You are the one that assumes that I have a hatred of the old.

I don't, what I'm doing is acknowledging that society is getting older and as a result more resourses need to be directed to their care.

I also acknowledge that those resourses have to be paid for.

What precisely should be taxed to pay for that?

You do a good job of refusing to answer that question.

The greatest con in history: taxes - any taxes - are a moral good. No one would voluntarily pay them in the 21^st Century because the central lie is "we know better"

Trying to do outpatient stuff in unsocial hours is also difficult because patients dont want to attend at those times.

There's one in Peasedown St. John, private hospital that primarily does NHS work and has been for at least the last decade.

It was doing NHS work when Circle ran it, I know people who were working there. Think it started bback when Labour were last in power and were getting waiting lists down.

Still back to 'shit has to be paid for, what would you like to be taxed to pay for it?''

Increasing tax isn't the only answer.

Wouldn't increasing efficiency and spending less on shit have the same end result without increasing taxation?

[Nobby the Bastard]

Yess it would. Paying prrivate companies to do the service instead is not the way to make savings.

For example, there is a vast range of services that government departments can reclaim VAT on so that paying a private company to do something rather than doing it in house with employees which dont attract VAT is on a 'level playing field.'

Level playing field my fucking arse.

Things like that do have a tendency to happen when spending other peoples money.

Throwing more of other peoples money at the problem isn't going to fix the inefficiencies which are one of the reasons public services are in such a mess.
