Trouble is, they've invested so much in the antivax movement you can't convince them with facts. To accept they're wrong would be a step too far for their egos

My take on what people think about the budget is don't tax the poor, don't tax the rich, don't tax the middle, don't tax workers, don't tax the pensioners, don't tax benefit claimants, don't tax me! We all use all these services. We need to pay for them, they're not free.
