I know we have touched on this before, but the reality is we are heading for a hiding to nothing if we don't find a better way to generate consolidated revenue, regardless of which government is in power.
It's quite simple, we have less tax payers nowdays, more people to feed and more bills to pay. Do the math, we are going backwards.
Now may I propose a small transaction tax 'ON THE BANKS ONLY' of say 0.5%.
When you think about it, banks make their profits from 'our money'.
They use our money to make their money, so, it would only be fair that they pay us a dividend (by way of tax) every time they use 'our money'.
Included in this idea would be the need for legislation to stop the banks from simply passing these fees back on to us.
As I have stated prior, now is a fine opportunity to 'test the water' with the disaster fund.
If nothing else, it would prevent us from writing another cheque from our overdraft.
Really, what have we got to loose.
