WE SHOULD PAY MORE TAXES! WE ARE SIMPLY NOT PAYING ENOUGH!

By Average Guy | 29th November 2017 |



Okay, so now I have your attention with an obligatory trigger inducing caption, I think it would be prudent to explain this in further detail, before the Social Justice Warriors and Left Wing politicians descend upon the page, calling for my immediate deportation and indefinite exile.

The 'tax payer' would have

1p deducted daily

raised £700,000,000 daily

raised £2,800,000,000 monthly

Charities and organizations that raise funds for third world countries and other charitable causes perform an exemplarily service, but ask yourselves, why are we consistently seeing the same advertisements and awareness campaigns year in, year out, for "Little Jimmy, who has to walk 15 miles every day to fetch water for his family and starving brothers and sisters who suffer from disease, famine, pestilence and unsanitary conditions?"





Because the money raised by charities and events such as Children In Need is simply NOT ENOUGH , and the money they do raise is spread across varying worthy causes, ultimately leaving each charity with a tiny slice of the pie. It Is a vicious cycle that will continue. I remind you that this is merely one example of how the money could be distributed, and has the potential for large scale projects to improve infrastructure in countries such as Africa. Handing out mosquito nets, water bottles, vaccines and rebuilding the same dilapidated shelters over and over again can only go so far in this endeavour. I remind you to refrain from thinking dichotomously. I am NOT suggesting that charitable work is pointless, as we have seen some truly inspiring work undertaken to improve the lives of people across the world. But I honestly believe the theory I propose, if taken seriously, discussed and implemented correctly, could make a huge difference.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this matter, whether you agree or disagree, please leave your comments below and I will endeavour to reply as soon as possible. If you liked this article please share and get the message out.



Just another daily thought from,

Firstly, I extend my warmest thanks for skim reading this article in advance, before Dichotomous thinking takes over, and I am misquoted in a YouTube video as suggesting something else entirely.So... down to business. What are you talking about Average Guy? "We pay enough taxes as it is!" I hear you cry.Well, the premise is actually straight forward, albeit a logistical nightmare.According to a very accurate (Sarcasm...) Google search, there are approximately 7 Billion people on the planet. The majority of whom have access to a bank account. For simplicities sake, we are not referring to third world countries or the handful of people who do not have access to a bank account.With this statistic in mind, I put forward a theory. I propose an additional tax, atax, where collectively each individual around the world, contributes a princely sum of 1 penny, which is deducted from their account daily. Now, without performing the correct Math, let us assume that equates to £700,000,000 daily, which at the end of each month would equate to roughly £2,800,000,000. Obviously these figures are rounded up and are in no way indicative of the correct figures.
