Given my impressive tax bill, and, given that I very rarely drink and I
don't smoke, I don't have a 42" flat panel TV, my car is many years old
and my computer is one that I built myself, whilst my mobile 'phone is
only good for telephone calls, it always amuses me to see that many of
those with no job and no visible means of support and claiming poverty
seem to be far more materialistically endowed than I am.
If none of this is anything to do with the taxation of one to fund
another, do I assume that the Tooth Fairy is still alive and well in
this fair land of equal opportunity?
