Make councils self-financing

[Son of Rex]

Replace central govt financing and council tax with a local tax rate.

Or replace VAT with a local sales tax.


Either way it would soon put a stop to the 200k+ exec salaries and we might even see some innovation.

Not sure about "whatever they like". How about a cap?

How much do you think that would reduce income tax by?
