Something for nothing
?
I pay Vehicle Excise Duty, fuel tax, Income tax, Council Tax, stamp duty, national insurance, VAT etc etc and I receive no handouts from the public purse whatsoever. I sometimes ride a bike (which I buy and maintain myself - no handouts for bikes) on roads (but not motorways or pedestrianised areas) built and designed for motor vehicles and which are laced with all manner of dangers for bikes. The only something I get for free is the possibility of premature death because driving standards are so poor.
Let he/she who is without handouts cast the first stone when it comes to something for nothing.
