That’s what I thought, what’s his occupation? And to earn such a high income, when he couldn’t seem to understand that puts him in the top 5% of earners! He mustn’t understand basic statistics, or perhaps he has a distorted view of the millions who are on the minimum wage. #bbcqt

It's not a fault to be in top 5% earners and he owes no excuse to anyone for that. It is something you should aim, too ... rather than looking to mug others who studied harder, worked harder and aimed higher than you.

I would not presume that he studied or worked harder or aimed higher than me but certainly have no problem with him or anyone else earning more than £80 000. My problem with him is his objecting to paying a little more tax, his apparent ignorance and lack of social responsibility

Of course he objects and he's right to as he already pays far more tax (in both nominal value as well as tax rate) than those who expect him to pay 'a little' more. He's already taxed 'a lot' more.

That’s where we disagree- you think he’s right to object and I don’t. We won’t change each other’s opinions I expect. Happy to agree to disagree.

Yeah cool, I get it ... the less well off must decide what the more well off should do with their money b/c it's their hard earned right to make this decision. No objection will be accepted and no justification is required.

What makes you think it is only the less well off who approve of proportionate taxation? There are many more responsible taxpayers in this country than there are tax avoiders.

and btw, tax avoiders don't pay any tax at all ... that's why they're tax avoiders.

That’s incorrect generally they minimise their tax payment. Keep up
