The tax the rich people aren't talking about people who get paid via PAYE.

I think a more pressing concern is the punitive levels of effective taxation applied to those coming off benefits into work which means there is genuinely little incentive to start working. But I guess your colleagues have never met anyone in that position so they don't count...

Well, I have to give it to FT: their messaging is consistent.

Don't let the anomalies cloud the bigger picture. ordinary Joes have been had off over 40 years.. they bled the poor first and non the middle...

The rich are those, who own the shops, the restaurants and business, that create the jobs. The young protesters in France and elswhere, who destroy those entities, may get a narrover range of working possibilities, but instead they get though the satisfaction of destruction.

Tax the rich more.

Thank you for your reply! Just wanted to make the point as I've already seen people conflating things and using the article to post 'woe is me' reactions re those with 100k incomes, which I don't think addresses the real issue of wealth inequalities.

wealth inflating levers like Property, Investments and tax efficient pensions can in many ways dodge tax on their growing wealth and when super savvy actually borrow against their accreting assets and reduce their tax costs further, whilst using the loans to fund further wealth growing opportunities
