iBlog... Tax Doesn't Have To Be Taxing

Personally, I think Jimmy Carr had the right idea. We are under the lovely assumption that we are this fabulously ‘free’ country - far more developed than those on the third metaphorical rock from the Earth and definitely more than those who hold less than Western ideals. The truth is, we have a lot more liberties living in an individualistic society where the focus is ‘me’ and not ‘we’ like in a collectivist society. Our life decisions are largely based on ourselves; what I want, what I need, what I choose, some may see it as selfish, we see it as liberation. Upon deeper reflection, we may appear to have been afforded all these freedoms but everything is not as it seems. There is still an almighty ball and chain affixed to every ‘choice’ we make - TAX.
