I did suggest one time that maybe people would be happy to pay their taxes, e.g. voluntarily fill in a capital gains form and attach a cheque, if they felt the money was being spent correctly...
Everyone in the pub was laughing for ages over that idea ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

So the richer does pay more. I'm not wealthy by any means, but it would be fare. Capital gains tax and inheritance tax should be zero as taxes will have been ripped out of those assets at the time of purchase or with the maintenance of the assets. Very simple, very easy, no loopholes and everyone can follow it easily. |
That is quite a simplistic view of tax, the average percentage will also have to be much higher because proportionally so much comes from high earners, and so little would be obtained from low earners. Basically all your proposal would do is increase taxes on poor people and result in a bigger benefits system. Tax isn't just a way of collecting revenue its also there to implement policy, and lets us do things like push investment away from London and out into the rest of the UK.

I make in the very low six figures, pay all my taxes due and still get shite from cunts who are just, well: jealous. The upper-end of the middle class gets absolutely hammered, since I make over £100,000.00 I lose my personal allowance.
To the people who give the usual pish talk of "well you make enough so no fucks given", how would you like it if the government took £4 off you just because you had a tenner? You wouldn't be happy.
The £50 - 150k demographic are hammered hardest in taxes. Why? The people earning less pay less as a percentage and the people who pay more have other ways to pay themselves, are normally business owners and use their business to pay for things, have more tax-efficient wrappers and ways to hide wealth, etc. |
Well I am genuinely really happy for you earning your 100k. |

I despise paying tax, every penny of it taken is grudged. I’m not holier than thou, I am utterly spiteful instead. If we are being honest ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.

Have you looked at what someone in your line of work was paid 43 years ago when Thatcher came to power then looked at how the contemporary income matches up to the rate of inflation? I suspect you will find your income class has exceeded the rate of inflation compared with lower status workers.
Im in a low status occupation and i calculated a few years ago that pay recession meant I am owed in excess of £50k for the loses over twenty years of getting rooked.
You could of course move to a country with f#@k all income tax but you might find the cost of private security far outweighs any tax you pay here. |

The world moves on; the people who are capable of moving with it will be okay but those who can't keep up, why wouldn't they be resentful?
