How stupid does she think we are

Just in case anyone had yet to realise this; listen carefully now; The Government Doesn't Have Any Money Of It's Own. The only dosh they have to spend, they either raise in taxes, or on President Brown's watch, borrowed from wherever countries borrow money.

If we then supplement this insane scheme by subbing them anothe 30 quid, that money is Post Tax. So we end up paying them two (or more) sets of tax on top of each other. If we're all supposed to have one of these things, then we should not be paying for them out of taxed earnings. They are never going to be free, but we should at least be spared having to be double or treble taxed to finance this lunatic plan.

It seems to me this is a burden being placed on the wrong shoulders. There is not an It system in the world that can stop an individual taking information in their heads and spewing out at the nearest undesirable third party.
