To all the wishy washy liberals crying for more taxes

Good point. Why do people in Britain sometimes talk as if the currency were called the "dollar"? Can't even be arsed to translate the cliche before mouthing it?

it's probably some sort of convoluted offshore accounting arrangement.

Your tax dollars hard at work

More politicians, more expenses, more hot air

I would have much less objection to MP's (and other assembly members) expenses so long as I was allowed to use the same rules for my business costs.

Yes, it is pretty rich for some of the chancers on here to complain!

If politicians lead by example, the people will follow. They could play nice. They choose not to. Then they talk about "fat cats"

I think we're entitled to criticise their poor example, especially as they are spending money which is not theirs. Anyone on here chancing stuff through their books is trying to hang on to their own hard earned cash rather than give it to the government. They might be more willing to be taxed if they could see their contributions were being well spent, not wasted.

"Most of the 60 AMs are allowed to claim costs for second homes because their main residence is deemed to be sufficiently far enough away from Cardiff Bay to justify it."

"One of the highest claimants, Welsh Liberal Democrat leader, Mike German, has his main home in Cwmbran, 17 miles from Cardiff Bay."

"One of the highest claimants, Welsh Liberal Democrat leader, Mike German, has his main home in Cwmbran, 17 miles from Cardiff Bay."

Now that does take the piss since most of his constituents do the same each day.
