You have no VAT? That's good. VAT is low here which is better than the UK but it should be abolished. The UK is unaffordable really. I can't remember the VAT rate but it is something silly. Plus those council taxes where they hardly ever take your garbage. It's beyond me how there is never a revolution. Makes sense that people drink so heavily though.

Non income taxes in the UK definitely discriminate against the poor. No doubt about that.

Yes there is a move to abolish income tax and make a consumption tax. Might be a good idea but that also might get out of hand. The government needs rehab for money addiction. Certain branches of government lecture America of the people's credit card debt ect and I find that funny. Certainly the current tax code could be changed to something better but it is so ingrained in our government I see little hope in a positive change
