>around 4 million of those 60million pay taxes that are used to pay out grants to sustain the rest of the population

(I know nothing about the situation there but)

I presume this means that wealthy/rich peoples' money is used to help the non-rich. And this is somehow a desperate problem? It sounds like you're one of the 4 million. What does "fighting back" mean, what's the goal? For the rich to keep it all for themselves, and keep getting richer? I thought the rich pay lower taxes everywhere - they can also pay expensive lawyers and accountants to make it happen.

When you say bad spending, what's bad about it?
