Money grabbing b*stards
I'm not going to go on about this too much but I just want make a quick post to express how much I hate the government. I'm not so naive to just hate the current government - I hate all of them. They are all money grabbing b*stards.
I have always wondered why exactly we pay stamp duty when we move house. Some taxes I can understand. They make sense.
Road tax - I use the roads, they need maintaining so I pay road tax.
Council tax - I need refuse collectors, I need council services so I pay council tax.
Income tax - The country needs money to run so everyone donates a bit in the form of income tax.
But stamp duty? It doesnt make sense. Why does the government need money because I have moved house? As if moving house isn't expensive enough with all the money grabbing solicitors and estate agents and mortgage companies. The government decide that they will just make moving house that little bit worse for you by taking some of your money away when you move house.
Sadly my little rant doesnt end here. Apparently you have to pay your stamp duty within 30 days. No doubt this little gem is hidden in the small print somewhere but regardless you have to pay in 30 days. So when mine and Laura's stamp duty arrived 5 days late the government decided that we hadnt suffered enough financial punishment for moving house and now we have received a letter with a fine for £100 (payable within 30 days).
It takes the proverbial. They received our stamp duty which was barely late and still they feel the need to take more money from us. All because we moved house.
Sadly I am aware that we dont have a leg to stand on. There is no point appealing and ultimately I can never change the system. My vote will never count because even in the unlikely situation where my vote decided which party wins the election - they are all the same. They are all money grabbing b*stards.
