As for "free stuff" I know you're referring to the NHS, a healthcare system built on socialism which has long been the envy of the world, much to the annoyance of capitalists who do their utmost to destroy it.
It's not free, neither has it ever been.
It's not just NHS, all of that tax on petrol, that YOU were whining about goes for God knows what? Good service at the DVLA?
No it's meant to be spent on road maintenance. UK is one of the highest taxed countries in the west and always has been. It is NOT a cheap country to live in.
Do you think we drive on dirt roads?
I expect some in the outback amount to that. No idea as i've never been.
You're overtaxed for no better service then you whine a little but defend it in the end..
That's just weird...
No i'm not 'defending' it at all. You asked what the tax was for so I told you. I doubt you'd find one motorist here who thinks the tax is fair, reasonable and justified, but the choice is go without a car and that won't work for everyone. Public transport isn't cheap and not always practical (eg it's useless if you're a shift worker).
The choice is to fucking demand lower taxes and less "help".
The choice is to not defend nor support the worthless fucks that confiscate your wealth.
You have choices, but your conditioning makes you powerless to exercise them.
So you do what you always do. Whine about a shit system, while supporting it at the same, because they give you enough rations to keep you appeased.
