"A wage is not profit" If you work for a company, you're helping them make profit, so that they can pay you. "Also, I don't mind my a tiny bit of my tax money saving some one else's life." Good for you. What about the rest of your taxes dollars? Where is that going? There are plenty of useless government programs here in the US. "Call me a hippy and what not." Ok. You're a hippy. :P JK The UK is a lot like the US, but there are some drastic differences. Differences that you won't understand and that I won't. We live in separate nations with two separate political traditions. You can't make judgments on what you aren't subject to.
