Transcript

00:00 - Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has said

00:01 it's not gonna be any tax cuts this year.

00:03 Do you think we pay too much tax?

00:06 - Generally, yeah, I'd say so, yeah.

00:09 I mean, I'm retired now, so,

00:11 but I do still pay tax,

00:13 but obviously tax on petrol and stuff like that, yeah.

00:17 - Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has said

00:19 there's not gonna be any tax cuts this year.

00:21 Do you think we pay too much tax?

00:23 - Yeah, definitely, yeah.

00:27 I mean, every person probably would say yes.

00:31 I do not think I'm qualified to say anything about this

00:36 because I do not know how big the road maintenance costs,

00:39 electricity, the power grid,

00:41 stuff like that are hard to maintain,

00:44 but I would usually say

00:45 that it's not necessarily having too much taxes.

00:47 It's more like, in my opinion,

00:49 not using that money correctly,

00:51 like having the lowest bidders usually win,

00:54 like let's say highway constructions,

00:56 not because they are doing it good,

00:57 but because it may be your friend,

01:00 it may be somebody you know,

01:01 you are undervaluing it,

01:02 which means that you always have to extend the construction

01:06 for a higher cost later on,

01:08 which is not in the bid, so,

01:09 yes, in a very convoluted way.
