Labours Increase in personal tax over £80k

So Labour have finally announced their 'moderate' tax increase for people over £80k.
These changes mean that if you have a household where one person earns £150k you will pay tax of £58k approx. but if you have a household of 2 people earning £75k you will pay total tax of approx. £37k.

I appreciate a lot of people will think tough shit, you earns lot so screw you but can someone really explain to me how this is not just a tax to punish.

And yes I understand people on lower incomes and disability support and other benefits need to more support and I personally have no problem paying extra tax but this makes the tax system so unequal for couples/ families with only 1 person working.

Hi all,

We just wanted to hop on to say that it's not really on to accuse folk of posting with an ulterior motive or hidden agenda. If you think that someone is not posting with genuine intentions, please do report it to us rather than posting on the thread, as it just derails. It also comes across as troll hunting and that's not really what we're about.

We know this is a fraught subject, and one that evokes strong feelings on all sides - but if there's one thing we could all do with in this political climate; it's a bit of peace and love.

Thanks Flowers
