Message: [QUOTE="Dogfish44, post: 1280204, member: 58954"] [b]What a load of hogwash.....[/b] When I have a job, I pay my income tax, it is taken out before I get my hands on it and therefore, I assume what little money is left over, to be my own. What I chose to do with it is my business alone. If I gamble, then it is [B]ME[/B] taking the risks (calculated gambles) with [B]MY[/B] money, not the government. If I've [B]already paid[/B] income tax to get this cash in the first place, why does the government think that they should get a cut when I invest my money in something other than [B]their [/B]stocks and shares, and I make a tidy profit on it? (Well... I might do some day!!) It seems to me that governments worldwide, think that they have complete autonomy over its populace and their finances!!! Would they issue me with a tax rebate should I lose my shirt, my home etc. through gambling? Would they bollocks!!! :mad: [/QUOTE]
