Its your money, do you think the government is spending it well?

Question

Labour are said to have spent £154 million on tv adverts, more than what Sainsbury and Tesco spent.
Do you think its worth it, and do you think such a wastefull government should be re-elected?

Answer 1

I like Tesco. I also like Sainsburys. Both have persuaded me that it is a good idea to buy my groceries from them. To do this they have spent far less than my government. And yet I do not like my government. No, I loathe my government.

My government spends my money trying to make me believe the unbelievable. It spends my money trying to make me believe that it is not wasting my money killing people in Iraq and Afghanistan. It spends my money trying to me make me believe that it is a good idea to spend my money buying sleek Jaguar cars for cabinet ministers. It spends my money trying to make be believe that it should spend my money paying a healthy salary to a Deputy Prime Minister who does no work.

My government is very good at spending my money!

I only wish my government would spend my money on things I like and believe in. I wish it would spend my money making my hospital nicer, cleaner and quicker. I wish it would spend my money making my train journeys punctual, efficient and not crowded. I wish it would spend my money making sure that there are no people sleeping on the street near my home.

My government is the worst government I have ever had!

Answer 3

Has George Dubbya got Tony's head up his ****.
Well actually, yes. But that is not the correct answer to this question.
The actual answer is No.
The government is not spending it wisely.It is about time we looked at the people of this country who are suffering because the government give so much of our money to other countries. A prime example is our health system. My mother in law is a gnat bollocks width away from having to sell her house to pay for care. She has spent 50 years of paying her stamp, never claimed a penny from the state, and now, what little she has got will go to Tony F'ing Blairs government and a Penny will not be left as a hand me down to her her kids. Do the government not believe in parents being allowed to leave stuff for their kids after their are dead anymore. This is just one example of the S-it country we now live in. Who said we want to live in a coffee coloured state. Who asked us the people if we minded that billions of our hard earned money goes out of the country. Ask the dead and dieing in this country if they think money should go to third world relief, or to bolstering up our ever floundering health service. The care in the community, what a joke. Another example of stuff not working. The homeless, ask them, the majority anyway, wouldn't they like to be helped to get their lives back on track. The people on waiting lists for months on end wanting help to come off drugs. I am not a racist, I am not a hard bastard, I just feel that for the foreseeable future charity should stay at home. Sorry if that offends some people, but lets get real and off thePC trail, think Britain, think self for a while. Its not being selfish, its reality, we don't want the country to go even further down the pan . Do we?

New Labour employs too many unemployable people in order to secure votes in future elections!Hope New Labour NOT re-elected.They are a Government of "waste waste and more waste"

Answer 5

First thing first, the money that you pay to government in the form of taxation, it is no longer your money.

So technically, you have no said to the tax money that you paid.

However, you have the right to elect parties/government that you prefer, but it will not guarantee the new government will be more effective in terms of spending or it can be worst.

So, unless you are part of the political team, it is better focus on your own business/carrer and family matters. Money that paid as tax, you can forget about it.
