It is also lost on the 'common working man' who typically votes Labour out of total envy and spite that the higher earners in this country do in fact pay quite a lot of tax!
It is also wasted on that same idiot that despite paying large amounts of tax, these 'type' of rich bastids in fact most likely have
PMI (Less drain on the NHS,)
Educate their kids privately (less drain on the LAs and Schools,)
Probably are less likely to smoke or drink themselves to oblivion,
Present hardly any drain on Social Services,
Are less likely to commit crimes (Less drain on Police,)
and
Live longer and therefore contribute POSITIVELY for longer!
Shame this is a hard point to grasp....

May I remind people of the poll that asked the question:
"Even if it can be shown that the 45% tax rate being raised to 50% will raise NO additional funds, would you still support its implementation?" (or similar...)
Despite the question being phrased so blatantly, amongst Labour (especially) there was an overwhelming desire to tax at 50% DESPITE it being neutral or possibly even negative.
Truly a hateful lot!

Just... how? How can they go on about the morality of tax avoidance - a skewed concept anyway, I'd argue taxation is probably more immoral - but be happy to take more money off individuals despite the financial benefit overall being zero or negative?
It beggars belief that people can be so jealous and spiteful. Imagine if that spite was used to fuel aspiration.
Would you rather live in a country where they pay no taxation?It beggars belief that people can be so jealous and spiteful. Imagine if that spite was used to fuel aspiration.

Stupid strawman argument which misses the point entirely. See the poll above showing that the majority of Labour supporters would be happy to aggressively penalise the rich, even if it made the country worse off as a result.Pure envy and idiocy.
