[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a[b] license to watch TV? That makes no sense. Are you pulling my leg[/b]?

As for the flat tax, I am not sure I agree with that. 20% for someone who earns $20,000 a year is a much bigger bite out of the paycheck than it is for someone who earns $100,000 a year. Doesn't seem fair when it's for necessities. I have no problem taxing luxuries, eating out, junk food, clothes over a certain price point, cars etc. But a poor person shouldn't have to pay a big tax on milk, cheese and meat.[/quote]

Not at all.  They have vans that drive around with equipment to detect if you are receiving a signal.  I kid you not.

Lord Hall, the BBC’s director-general, wants to extend the £145.50 annual fee in response to the growing popularity of iPlayer, which enables viewers to watch programmes on home computers, mobile phones and tablet devices. [/quote]
