Did you see Gordon Brown wriggling uncomfortably when being interviewed the other day on the question of tax - being forced to accept that the tax burden had risen under this government, although what he wanted to concentrate on was the fact that the standard rate of income tax had fallen. And this is one of the major problems with tax for the man in the street - there are so many taxes, it is difficult to get a grip on just how much we are paying in total, and whether it is going up or down. So have a look at www.adamsmith.org and take the link to "Tax Freedom Day" which calculates (and has done for years) just what proportion of the year we spend working for the taxman. I have to warn you though, it makes for pretty sobering reading!
