I'm not sure if you've heard, but the government has come up with a new way to make us feel old. It's called "National Insurance," and it's basically a tax on working people.
The idea behind National Insurance is that it helps to fund the NHS and other public services. But let's be honest, it's just another way for the government to take our hard-earned money.
I mean, I'm all for supporting the NHS, but why do I have to pay more than someone who doesn't work? It's not fair!
And it's not just the NHS that benefits from National Insurance. The government also uses it to fund things like the state pension and unemployment benefits. But again, why do I have to pay for these things if I'm not going to use them?
It's like the government is saying, "We know you're working hard, but we're going to take some of your money anyway, just because."
And the worst part is, National Insurance is a hidden tax. It's not like income tax or council tax, where you can see how much you're paying. It's just deducted from your paycheck, so you don't even notice it.
So, there you have it. National Insurance is the government's new way to make us feel old. It's a tax on working people that's unfair, hidden, and ultimately just another way for the government to line its pockets.
But hey, at least we can take comfort in the fact that we're not the only ones who are getting ripped off. Everyone who works in the UK is paying National Insurance, so we're all in this together.
Maybe we can start a support group or something. We could call it the "National Insurance Victims Association."
In the meantime, let's just keep working hard and paying our taxes. After all, what other choice do we have?
