Ugh, dual guilt trip, don't pay your tax, poor people could die.
Do pay your tax, and you feel oppressed and somewhat less wealthy...
But say if we uh, tax for 0.1 of a Euro or something, the massed collection of this would be alot better than nothing but still next to nothing.
Does anyone remember Kofi Annan and "Oil-For-Food"; just what the poor people need, the UN to 'over-see' the collection of money to be distributed to the poor again.

Most of our countries already give billions (that they don't have) in foreign aid, why should we give anymore!
I know every time our gloriousdictatorleader Chairman Brown opens his mouth, he is giving away money he has borrowed (that I have to pay back) to 3rd world causes.
If we want to donate, it should be via the charity of our choice and not taxation.
Why did i read all post in this thread.
i will be 62 yrs young this year, for as long as i can remember we ( the UK) have been "donating" vast amounts of monetary aid to the third world countries to aid famines,floods,eq's etc and for what ? to supply arms for rebel causes! while the poor children suffer with little or no education , hardly any food or clothes what a life they have !
sorry, rant over back to being a housewife
