Why you over pay Tax

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-s...wales-19315683

I sat on a committee back in the early 1980's when we reviewed the idea of a barrage across the severn. It was recommended to the government to build the barrage which would cost £61 million, produce 40,000 jobs building it and 20,000 jobs afterwards covering the marina, wild life sanctuary and maintenance.
There would be a Rail and Road access across the severn on the barrage which would have a toll just like the Severn Bridge does. Anyway the outcome was that it was that the costs were to much.
Now, with the cost almost 500% more they are seriously thinking of builting it!!!!!

ps, at the same time there were plans for five other sites around the UK where similar Barrage schemes were being considered.

I wrote to the Government in 2004 (when renewable energy was in the fore) suggesting tidal barrages should be considered. The reply was,



The second paragraph being the main one.
Tidal power has been operating efficiently in Europe since 1966, how much more experience do they want?

Re: Why you over pay Tax

A drop in the ocean.

We pay too much tax because we have to. We have to because governments give oiur taxes to other countries. That shoulod be stopped. Today.

We pay too much tax to service the huige debt that especially Blair and Brown ran upo because of their foul policies, illegal wars, and maladministration.

We pay too much tax because our horrid Socialist Welfare State has ceased to be a safety net and has become totally corrupting of our economy

We pay too much tax because of legal and especially illegal immigration.

We pay too much tax because of weak polito's and the lack of politico's who will do the right thing for our country.

We pay too much tax because we have no real means of stopping these things from taking place.
