“Errrrmmmmmmmmmmm:

Wierd as it may sound the Tram is actually financing itself because guess what.NET have to pay the WPL as well it seems crazy.

No:

As with Council employees' wages, pension "contributions" and taxes:

The private sector taxpayer is paying.

Everyone else is just recycling their private sector taxpayer produced wealth back into the private sector taxpayer funded pot (before taking it back out again the next week.

Along with a whole lot more fresh private sector taxpayer funding.

.

But what are you going to do when you haven't just driven all the motorists out of their cars and onto the tram:

But all the private sector out of business.

And all the private sector workers out of work?

.


You'll soon find out that there isn't a "Taxpayer Moneytree" on which you funding grew as if by magic:

It was created by the industry you, along with the private sector militant unions, destroyed.

“Well said Plonk, could not have put it better myself.”

“An interesting point raised by andyman and with considerable fact to back it up, and the usual tripe from stupid badger.
As usual it is pick on one element of an interesting post and resort to personal abuse and profanities. Itagain proves two points

1- when you cant counter a factual and accurate poster resort to abuse and slurs.

2- You can take the man out of the gutter but you cant take the gutter out of the man, it shows what you really are.”

“i am absolutly seething at the fact that this is going ahead.
the people who are less likely to use the tram have to pay for it.
i taxed my car for 6 months at the cost of over 100 pounds then there is fuel with high tax.
people say that they are better off on benefits and this only adds to that claim.
also some people say the pros out weigh the cons but who led an investigation into this? the peaple who want to go ahead with it, and if u believe them then ur as crazy as them”

“Just a couple of quotes from the Ten Objectives of the City Council's Bible . . .
Item 2: A heavy progressive income tax.
Item 6: Centralization of the means of communication and transport into the hands of the State.
The Communist Manifesto (English Translation 1888)”

“It will never happen. Come the next election, Labour will be trashed - and their idiotic polices with them. I must say I am suprised at the namby pamby Liberals sucking up to them - they have done their election hopes no favours.”

“It must be very pleasing to have an idea and then to get others to pay for it.
We have a would-be Marxist governing body in power in Nottingham City so watch out for the next "Tax" hikes to further the cause.
I'l bet they celebrated with "Fine Wines" again at our expense!”

“Do the council realise what they have done here, All they will do is force businesses to relocate outside of the city boundary because of their own deisre to take more money off the general public. Yet again all the council were interested in was fleecing the public.
What the current establishment have go to remember is that there is a General Election between now and 2012 and they will not be allowed to let it happen if the Tories get in power.

There could be other ways the Council could raise the monies; cut the number of councillors to one per ward - make the council a leaner, more efficient business.”

“So not only do you take over 1/3 of my anual earnings through income tax and nat insurance, along with council tax, you now want to tax me over £200 a year for the privilage of going to work!!! Sometimes I wounder if I would be better off on the dole than slaving away 6 nights a week for my £26k pa. The worst of it is I don't even live in Nottingham, the city do not provide a bus/tram or link to the tram from where I live so why the hell should I pay for it. I can see me parking in a pub and walking to work from now on.

CON CON CON CON you robbing B@$T@RD$!!!!”

“Andyman, has Oxford reverted to allowing cars into the city?

From where do you get your figures that 8 businesses a day were going out of business?

You write a lot but most of what you say is boll**cks.”
