The way earnings are skewed in this country, there are a hell of a lot of taxpayers who are really quite poor.  But I have a suggestion. What if our income tax returns included a box to be ticked if one wanted to pay for the monarchy, and if one didn't tick the box then one's tax bill was consequently reduced, such that those only those people who wanted a monarchy paid for them?  How many people would tick the box then?

but we don't do we there's loadsa stuff that folks resents paying taxes for like the military like welfare ... i think there is a reasonable case for a referendum on whether the country should decide the budget by tickbox might even bring some non voters in on the debate... like why should we pay for a government civil service tax office or a voting system and all that but i suspect that the resultant budgeting by the people would horrify a lot of us one way and another  could throw in what should be taxed how and all that

GOD BLESS!

Peace and Love,
