Sales tax is a tax on purchases, so the Chancellor wants you to make stuff that people want to buy. That\u2019s why she\u2019s so keen to emphasise the importance of going out and doing some good in the world. The Chancellor doesn\u2019t want any freeloaders in Wolfland.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cUsing charts and tables, she has to second guess the employment needs of the Garrison and the Highways Agency, along with the Chamber itself. These public sector bodies are employers, so they pay Work Impost<\/em> too.<\/p>\n That means that some of the general taxes which are collected by the civil service actually go into the civil service budget and back out into the education pot. And that pot is divided up among all the schools according to how big they are. The Purser at each school then has to work out how to budget for teachers\u2019 wages, and everything else that a school needs.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat do you want out of life?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat do you want, do you really, really want?\u201d<\/p>\n Mr Rafone knows the answer already. The class doesn\u2019t disappoint. Without responding to him directly there\u2019s a distinct, collective and audible, \u201cI dunno\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cI dunno is the most common answer,\u201d he says, \u201cat heart, we\u2019re all still cavemen. We want to protect the tribe, and we want to survive. And simple survival at a basic, existential level is not particularly satisfying. We want a bit more to life than that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat do you want, do you really, really want?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cA decent standard of living, and complete peace of mind.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAm I wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIn any case,\u201d Mr Rafone concludes, \u201cyou want a job.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou either work or die!\u201d<\/p>\n Previous<\/a> – Book1 Page103 \u2013 Next<\/a><\/p>\n Previous – Book1 Page103 \u2013 Next \u201cThe biggest headache is the one the Chancellor has every year.
