What do you think of the news that the Taxman is getting a £23M bonuses?

Having lost over £1 billion pounds in taxes and given away the personal details of 25 million people in the UK, do you think that senior officers in HM Customs and Revenue have earned their bonuses?

    Just exemplifies the greed that exists in government and it's tax collectors. It appears to me that there is a conflict of interest for the more they collect the greater their bonus'. They have made the system so complex that I suspect most individuals have no idea that they are being over-charged.

    However, the system penalises the ordinary person whilst enabling the rich to take advantage of all the loopholes available to them. Our MP's are able to obtain tax free income from many sources and therefore why should they complain about the Taxmen as long as they remain quiet.

    When you think about it, that's our tax money they are getting as bonuses! Why on earth are they getting a bonus? The mess everything up, lose our data and still get extra. They get paid, don't they? Why should they get more. They should try doing a fair day's work without messing it up and losing it, for a fair day's wage. I'm sick and tired of this Labour farce of a government giving all our money away to quangos, so called experts, tax officials, immigrants and themselves - one day we English will rise up and revolt against Brown and co. and they will not know what hit them!
