I love tax. Recent headlines have stated that “2 million more to pay higher tax rate by 2015”.

I know I’m being daring by writing this as undeniably some folk will comment saying that I am ‘naïve’ ‘ignorant’ and ‘stupid’ but I kid you not, I am neither of those things. I’m just Amber Lovell. I’ve asked these questions, but got no answer, so I’ll share my world with you.

Ever since I found myself a reasonably decent job, (I actually found two and worked both at the same time, so to all the idle folk out there [you know who you are] there are jobs available – don’t be fussy and lazy, seize the jobs people!!) I have been taxed the sad rate of 20% of my monthly income.

Outraged was I – I know that taxes are spent on things such as transport, education, health, law and order etc… which has dragged me onto the idea that I’m already paying for my education, making it a foreseeable total of 6 years paying for education… YAY.

I too am paying tax that gets contributed to transport, which is presumably the hideous subsidised school bus which sees me clinging onto a pole and hovering over a small child with the facial expression of sheer horror. I also pay my fare to get onto the bus – undeniably I’m paying twice as much to use this service, which is blatantly insufficient.

My taxes also get contributed towards health. Yes, health is important, but I wouldn’t mind paying as much as I do towards health if I was actually able to get an appointment with my doctor – I’d have more chance of meeting Kanye West in Tesco than getting a doctor’s appointment. They ridiculously ask patients to call immediately after 8am, and by 9am there are no appointments left.

God forbid you fall ill later on in the day, only to be told that all of the emergency appointments are ‘fully booked’ or that I’m not a ‘priority’ – What is this? How are receptionists able to tell me that I, Amber Lovell am not a medical priority – far too many people in this world rely on me on a daily basis, and then they tell me I’m not a priority?

Moan over… Nearly.

It appears that I like the rest of the adult working world do not like paying tax. I wouldn’t mind paying tax half as much if they were spent on decent services and the money was spent on improving them.

My doctors' surgery is getting a makeover, surely they could use their decorating budget (I bet it’s from the NHS too…) to contribute towards a new doctor, making appointments less of a bun fight.

I’m sure we’re paying enough to get an appointment with our GP?

Surely, our friend or foe Mr Osborne should evaluate the current situation before increasing the amount we pay, because surely, the services will be as chaotic and idiotic as they are now…

George Osborne, like you, I don’t like using public transport, not to mention mingling with the general public, but you have to empathise with your people, don’t you?

Sort yourself out.

P.S. You’re lucky I don’t like pasties or you’d have a bigger case on your hands.
