BL we hear you. What alternative do you suggest? I thought the Poll tax was fair, as we lived in a modest home and both worked, we were neither winners or losers there. My kids would love it, their council tax bills would be slashed!
For me, local income tax would be the most beneficial. My other half and I don't have great pensions, individually we don't use up our personal allowances, so we'd be quids in. Jointly, we do ok.
Its human nature to want what benefits us the most, but the government can't please us all. Please be assured however that some families pay a lot more than their fair share.
