As @FraserNelson points out, the bottom 50% of earners pay just 9.7% of all income tax. The top 0.1% of earners pay 14.1% of all income tax.

@AnitaBellows12 that's about VAT, not their total tax burden. -
@JuliaHB1 I was talking about VAT. -
@AnitaBellows12 no, you claimed they had "a heavier burden of tax", no mention of VAT specifically. -
@JuliaHB1 My first comment was specifically about VAT.

@JuliaHB1@AnitaBellows12 someone earning £200,000 pays say £80,000 tax , someone earning £20,000 pays say£6,000tax,who pays more tax -
@Chrissm07537852@JuliaHB1@AnitaBellows12 basic living costs or family of 4 is £20k+, very important that poorest have enough 2 live on -
@johnwedgey Yes but they don't want to hear about this. It is about tax burden, which is greater for people earning lots of money. -
@AnitaBellows12 I'm afraid the two r linked, if poor become too poor seeing wealthy too wealthy then they will need water cannons!!!

@JuliaHB1@AnitaBellows12@FraserNelson I hate the politics of envy that the left wing and Labour Party stir up -
@Chrissm07537852@JuliaHB1@FraserNelson That is pathetic as comment. There's no envy in showing that poorer people are hardest hit by VAT -
@AnitaBellows12@JuliaHB1@FraserNelson pathetic my arse , I'm from a working class background so don't try that crap on me -
@Chrissm07537852@JuliaHB1@FraserNelson That was not me speaking about the politics of envy
