Where are those people's families and where is my tax going?

[AmusedTaupePlayer]

Nearly 50% of my income vanishes in tax and NI, and I’m seriously wondering what I’m getting in return. The streets are filthy, the Tube’s a mess of delays and breakdowns, and my child’s school can’t even fix leaking ceilings.
GP appointments? Impossible. Police follow-ups? Hit and miss.
I asked my councillor, and he said most of the money’s going to social care — mainly for elderly people and kids in care. Fine, but it makes me ask: where are their families? Why is the state carrying so much, and why does it feel like we're footing the bill for a system that’s barely working?
I’m not trying to be cruel — just frustrated. Is anyone else getting the same response from their council? Or any better answers?

Even dogs can breed its not like it requires intelligence

but why not get abortions?

One of the joys of Thatcher selling of council houses to make non striking mortgage holders out of us.....is that both parties have to work to pay the mortgage. Kids bounce about and elderly are unsupported. So the price is....the elderly need looking after...wisdom and exprrience is not valued in our society...people callously begrudge their care.
