Might be controversial but bankers and footballers aside , most people who earn above 150k will be on the 150-200k I guess . These will include doctors , surgeons , leaders of business who employ loads of staff, why should they pay 45%? They already pay massive amounts of tax and are expected to take on massive amounts of personal responsibility , accountability and liability , have likely spent years training … as a percentage based tax , and if I was a doctor working my a&se to help people I’d be thinking screw you I already pay tens of thousands …..
