What taxes on other people would you support?

How about a deposit on takeaway boxes and cups. The takeaways have to reimburse you if you return them, as long as they're from the same chain. I'm including coffee shops with their non-recyclable cups in this obviously.

How about a hefty tax on catching Pokemons.

Also unnecessary hyphenation where meaning is clear without hyphens, and incorrect use of hyphens and en dashes.

I'm terrible for doing this - for no good reason.

Perhaps this is what it was introduced as but jot with benefits being universal and no hypothocation of taxes that is just an old fashioned socialist pipe dream.

Actually money from NI contributions is paid into a NI Fund kept separate from other Government revenue. The NI Fund is used to pay designated contributory benefits and the rates set balance the payments made by the fund which is audited annually.

Seems like hypothication to me.

I would tax dogs and cats because there are too many of the dammed things crapping everywhere.

Nah, leave 'em alone – they are a force for the good, compared with so many other things in life, as far as i'm concerned. Humans create far more excrement (etc.), and I don't think the giant sewer running along the Embankment in London was created for animals other than humans, who create far more pollution than any other species. Perhaps tax all car owners in big cities more than those outside them, for a start?

Stop tax evasion and corruption among the financial 'elites' would be my preference.
