Some people in 'answers' make reference to politicians paying for our services,can I say politicians pay for NOTHING !. We the taxpayer foot the bill for every scheme they dream up. Correspondent 'THE BULB' thinks Red Ken has spent millions on London Transport including using the police to catch fare evaders, where do these people get these ideas from. Once again for the slow learners the taxpayer pays for everything by one means or another. People like Gordon Brown only tighten the tax screw on us.

Exactly, the government has NO money -- all the money they use comes from me you and our neighbors.
That goes the world over, the idea of government having "money" is an oxymoron.

No. That's rather elitist. The fact that someone earns enough to pay taxes should not be the criterion for voting for childen any more than it is for adults. You are suggesting that being a taxpayer should be the criteria for voting. Why would you not allow non-paying minors to vote too?

Politicians pay taxes too, to be fair.
I cannot identify with the enormous taxes that you guys pay, but I can identify with the stupid special interests that influence where that money goes. If it bothers you that much you could try running for office and writing your own laws.
