Ten bucks says they don’t have to rent their beer,their fags or their football tickets.
Yes. Just like here, priorities don’t matter to the UK Government or those who live off other taxpayers. I was behind two middle-aged women at Costco last week. They had 18 eggs and some other food items, plus two expensive perfumes in the cart. When the cashier had wrung up the purchases, he said ‘I can only use the EBT card for the food’. They said yes, ok. The total bill was around $180 dollars. They had EBT cards and were buying two bottles of perfume for $160. When the Beatles were in their heyday, the tax bite was 95% on the wealthy. When I worked in Britain in the 80’s, making 1/4th of my wage in America, my tax bite was 50%. I was making peanuts and they took 50% of my income! Unfortunately, that’s Socialism and it’s coming here soon. If you are working, you are carrying many more than just yourself and your family.

One always rents beer. How much of it does one actually get to keep?
