Even though governments who you can choose to elect every five years decide which rate of tax is applicable to you , none the less it's yourself who has decided which rate of taxation suits you best .
Every pound of tax not collected then places the burden elsewhere , now this burden is generally materialised in the form of poorer services , pay stagnation , loss of services , deaths , ill health and an unequal and divided society .
The ability to pay is the only way taxation can be collected fairly to meet the needs of it's people and keep society functioning , it's in the greater interest of everyone to ensure this happens , business needs educated and healthy staff , we all require roads and motorways to be in good order to name a few examples .
Nobody says you have to like taxation , who does ? But nobody as an end user of government spending which is everyone should be avoiding their responsibility .
Anyone who avoids taxation set by elected governments will pay a far higher price further down the road in my opinion , the current health of the country is all the evidence you need .
