If you’re searching for a tax poem, I have an original one for you today.

It has been said that tax is the price we pay for living in a civilised society.

Someone must pay for the things we take for granted. Where would we be without healthcare, education, defence, roads, the rail network, and so much more? And it all comes at a cost.

On that basis, I agree we must accept the need to pay at least some taxes.

However, I think the tax burden must be managed carefully because tax acts as a disincentive to enterprise and hard work.

In the UK, currently, the tax burden is higher than it has been at any time since World War II. For me, that is far too high.

Politicians seem to think the solution to every problem is simply to throw money at it.

I agree that there will be times when the allocation of greater resources to a problem is the appropriate strategy.

However, frequently, it would be more appropriate to consider root and branch reform instead.

The problem with that, of course, is it would be generally unpopular and result in negative media headlines, which politicians hate.

So, they throw money at it instead and pass the bill on to Joe Public.

That leaves ordinary folk feeling like they’ve been mugged.

So, I condensed my thoughts on this subject into today’s poem.
