People who complain about the rise in council tax need to understand the realities of life.
At present, it takes the council tax of 140 average households to pay the annual salary for Brighton and Hove City Council's chief executive.
A massive hike in council tax means it will only take 100 households to pay his salary.
The tax from the other 40 households can then be used for something really useful, like paying the expenses of councillors.
The complainers need to understand that the more you raise council tax, the more useful things you can do with that money.
That includes employing a massive number of bureaucrats to make sure it is spent wisely.
