It's on Revolver. Weird, never paid any attention to the lyrics before. I like them better than the song itself. Bloody hell, yes I have, loads of times. It’s on Revolver.

This "all or nothing" job-lot every 5 years kind of Mob Rule is a joke. As for the EU, they only get money that is sweated out of us, too. Remeber: the Regions (er, I mean countries) are subordinate vassals. Marksny, show me where I could independently vote in or out the means or personnel for administering that system.

The problem exists in most democratic countries. Politicians can't get elected without money, so they make deals with special interests. Nobody can get elected without TV advertising. TV advertising, especially for a national market, is super-expensive. It is similar to a problem that exists in the United States. The problem exists in most democratic countries.

The Beatles had that years ago: Let me tell you how it will be There's one for you, nineteen for me 'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman Should five per cent appear too small Be thankful I don't take it all 'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman If you drive a car, I'll tax the street, If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat. If you get too cold I'll tax the heat, If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet. Don't ask me what I want it for If you don't want to pay some more 'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman Now my advice for those who die Declare the pennies on your eyes 'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman And you're working for no one but me. The logic? The Beatles had that years ago:

Let me tell you how it will be
There’s one for you, nineteen for me
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don’t take it all
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah I’m the taxman

If you drive a car, I’ll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I’ll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I’ll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I’ll tax your feet.

Don’t ask me what I want it for
If you don’t want to pay some more
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
‘Cause I’m the taxman, yeah, I’m the taxman
And you’re working for no one but me.

It is the taxpayers' fault this has happened. We voted the idiots in, we are paying (in oh so many ways) for our bad judgement. The logic is correct. It is the taxpayers’ fault this has happened.
