Working for Her Majesties Tax Authorities
Peter,
wrong! In the UK we're all working for one of the most incompetent governments on the planet. 17.5% VAT (revenue tax), 28% corporation tax, 41% income tax, 18% capital gains tax. After finally getting some hard earned out of our businesses or jobs, we then pay petrol (Gasoline) tax of £4.20 ($8.30) per imperial gallon. And on top of that people with houses like mine me are paying £2,500 ($4,900) per annum in local housing tax. In return we get high crime, dirty streets, poor schools, dirty hospitals, roads full of potholes. That's what socialism does for you.
What Google get out of my business is a relative pittance. And at least they deliver.
