Take from the poor and give to the rich - that's what Robin Hood taught wasn't it Mr Cameron?
Personally, I love knowing that this country hasn't got the money to fund research into ME (an illness that leaves thousands so ill they end up 100% bedbound for years), nor does it have the money to provide treatments on the NHS that actually have a chance of helping, nor does it have the money to keep countless genuine sufferers on benefits, but it does have the money to spend endless amounts on the Pope's visit.
I hear the Pope's aide referred to the UK as a third-world country, on account of all the "multi-cultural" people he saw at the airport when first landing there. I have to assume this means the Pope condones pedophilia, is against contraception, and possibly racist. *sigh*
To answer the Writer's Block question though, I have no idea what the limit is, but I have to assume that providing for the defense of its citizens is one of the few legitimate roles for government, along with providing for the health and welfare of its citizens. Everything else is just self-serving graft, IMO.
