Bieryes Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I been thinking you see about these many million pounds of money that government need to have to find with people having opportuned it away. Good sound ideas will be needed and maybe these are frivlous written looking but they are meant well. So here goes and you help too if you like Firstly - Policeman sit at qarterbrideg or busy place and take down all number of car that do movbile phone . This is $300 each one and very soom in minutes even there will be many thousand pound for you. Within months or weeks even there will be a lot of the debt paid for. Secondly with cigaretten. These are what economists say are flexible comodity or is it inflexible commodity I forget. Its no matter. But the idea being for you put up to say $20 a packet. People stop nxt day and say “too much, I’m not paying that” but in a week or month they are NEARLY all back smoking as before because of addiction or want. Some will stop but they are few and the increase in government take is still very healthy despite the loss from those managed to do it. So you see things are not so bad because we can find moneys in vary ways to pay off debt. As long as we all have positive outlook and don’t get down in the dump. Can others suggest things too and then we can tell politician look we care and have come up with ideasa for you to peruse and action. Any others?

TerryMcCann Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Perhaps the Government could get involved with some kind of property scam. I've heard they can make people lots of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandon the common purse. Set, collect and keep own duty (say about 50% on cost) on petrol, beer & spirits, tobacco products etc. Set, collect and keep own VAT on other goods.

I have a car, my wife has a car, presumably neither are a second vehicle as we only own one each? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would define it as a second car belonging to anyone household as such, though I am not in favour of taxing a second vehicle as running a car costs enough as it is!!

Stavros Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Make it a law that painters and decorators have to paint one building for free, for every one that they charge for! It might not make any money for the island but it will make it look nice and it'll keep painters and decorators too busy to post on internet forums! Stav.
