Why don't you like it? Surely you should pay for what you use?

That's why we pay road tax!

But the more you use the roads, the more you should pay.

That's why we pay so much tax on petrol!

You could say that about the NHS?

Anyone who is ill a lot should pay more tax.

Only "fair".

Well actually I think the NHS should be privatised. And yes the more you use it the more you should pay. Fat feckers, smokers, heavy drinkers will then cough up more.

That's paying for the damage you're doing to the environment. You should also pay for the damage you do to the roads.

What about the damage the roads do to my tyres?

Is the government going to pay me for that?

Only "fair".
