Talk of tax cuts is largely centred on income tax but the Government has its hands in our pockets every day in every way; VAT, fuel, stamp duty, capital gains, interest tax, alcohol and cigarettes, business rates, local taxes, road tax, insurance levy and on and on. On top of that we have National Insurance tax and the cancellation of tax breaks, such as red diesel and electric car tax and many others over the years. I wonder how much of our money actually is tax free? Because everything we spend is also taxed via the company we bought goods and services from. Governments are exceeding their brief all over the first

world as they decide in ever greater detail how we will live our lives and what our priorities are, their thirst for money can never be quenched.
