...and then this begs the question: with all of the public transport, 
education, hospital and general public services cuts, why are our taxes
still at the same (or higher) rates that they were at back in 1990? [Mind you,
I'd rather have the services back].

And where is all this extra money being channelled?

Since my whinging has gone off topic for both these newsgroups, I will
desist now.
