Yeah, but don't you British people pay an obscene amount of taxes on everything, including personal income? Aren't you used to it by now?

That's why most famous British celebrities (such as actors, writers, and musicians) don't actually live in Britian. They're tax refugees, living and working in other countries for most of the year to avoid your obscene taxes.

It all comes from the evils of Socialism, you know. If you want free health care, you pay for it at the pump and out of your weekly paycheck, people. ;-)
