Cost of Living - Shrinkflation is speeding up at an alarming rate

It does give me the the right as the taxpayer

That being said, complaining about things is a waste of time, i don't complain about that, i just express views, and to solve the issue i'll just make more money.



Paying taxes is not destroying money. the government paying their debt which is owned by the central bank of that country would be destroying money.

If they did that it would cause deflation, but they will never do that as it means cutting spending.

I wholeheartedly disagree. You have no right to tell me how to spend my money and if you did, I’d tell you in no uncertain terms to **** off and mind your own business.

You might mis-understand my position.

The taxpayer has the right, because its taxpayer money, my right as a taxpayer means changing various policies or laws which would therefore impose conditions, by voting for such things. Not me personally posting like cheestfest.

What is very important though, is to understand it makes absolutely no difference what people on welfare spend their money on.

Is it though? Once you hand it over it’s then the governments responsibility to dish it out how they like.

Once it leaves your bank or hand or whatever it’s no longer yours I guess.


I would say that what you have said is like saying you have control over how Starbucks spends their money after you purchased a coffee from them.

It’s how I see it anyway.

That doesn’t read particularly well and is hard to fully understand. Can you make it more concise please?

I have the right to vote in regards to how any government money is spent, and or what conditions exist or do not.

Doesn't work like that in the real world, but regardless it is my right.

No you don't. You have the right to appoint someone whose job it will be to drive the policy of that department according to their moral/professional ethics/compass/whatever (or more likely lack thereof). You don't have the right to instruct policy.

I know where you are coming from, my dad grew up on a council estate and worked his ass off so us kids could maybe have something different.
 
if the cap fits ...
New research suggests that these increased hours spent online may be associated with cyberbullying behaviors. According to a study by the University of Georgia, higher social media addiction scores, more hours spent online, and identifying as male significantly predicted cyberbullying perpetration in adolescents.

“You have these adolescents who are still in the midst of cognitive development, but we’re giving them technology that has a worldwide audience and then expecting them to make good choices.”

Well no, you don't. You have the right to vote for an MP/Party that best represents your views. As do the people spending your tax money on whatever you deem irresponsible :p


What you're suggesting is direct democracy, and we all saw how that went with Brexit.
