I've been pondering on this question.
As a UK taxpayer, roughly how much do you have to earn to put more into the tax system than you take out? (If you have average use of hospitals, roads etc.) And, how much does a household have to earn if they have two children to do this (though I suppose this doesn't take into account that those children are future taxpayers.)
The reason I am considering this is because in the past I did consider myself left-wing, and used to support the idea of a "Robin Hood Tax". As I've grown-up got older, I'm starting to come to the conclusion that it perhaps isn't fair to expect people who have worked hard to become a higher taxpayer to pay even more into the system (like Labour propose to do if they win the next election.)
Thoughts?
