Adding more devils to the mix, should we apply the same policy to a pint of milk? What's the point of earning more if everything is in proportion to your wage? rent 35%. Council tax 6%. Pint of milk 0.03%.
Does this mean that the person paying the higher amount of council tax because they earn more gets better use of the facilities this extra payment is used for as this tax is different to your normal income tax.

One of my favourite things to watch on tv is to watch Baliffs come and take things from people who try to live above their means..
Everyone can afford to pay council tax. Even if you're unemployable you still get benefits and discounts which means you'll be paying a lot less than the £191pm I have to find to pay for loads of services which I don't use.

You must be joking?
Do you realise how much it costs to have surveyors going round putting all the different properties into different council tax bands?
Pretty sure people don't get forced to buy pints of milk they can't afford?

I pay £250 per month in council tax. SADFACE.
I think he means it's non-means tested, which I agree is a problem, taxes should always be means tested otherwise they can force people onto the streets who can't afford to pay them.
What staple food would you like me to use for the example? Or are you forgetting people need to eat?
...and other services such as Refuse Collection being charged directly to those that use them. .
Well thats what happens when you buy a castle and lord it over us peasants 'Tips hat' m'lord
Council tax is fine as it is.
Which happens how often. Once in a blue moon, other than for new properties.
