When have increased taxes directly contributed to your take home pay?

It doesn’t. They’re just expressing their jealousy in a thinly veiled and highly embarrassing way.

How would that even be possible? Presumably some people get a top up if they are on a tiny wage, but ‘direct contribution to take home pay’ really isn’t the point of tax. It also sounds a fairly inefficient use of money.

Have I missed something in this conversation?
