The biggest issue of the moment…

A comment from a reader that deserves it’s own post…

I want to start a discussion. The country needs certain essential services, such as the NHS or looking after the elderly, or reasonable, affordable pensions.  The requirements need to be defined, and then money has to be raised to pay for them.   This can only be done by a fair, but large enough national income from Taxation, even if politically difficult to achieve. Discuss. MHM

Why is this the issue of the moment?  Because there are no quick fixes or easily solutions.  I think this is a discussion worth having, so I am going to collect my own thoughts and then post them here.   Comments section is free for anyone else to join the debate too.
