Perhaps my wording was the problem, and I didn't ignore your other question, I said the percentage isn't the problem, I also don't know the number, but I'm sure you do.
Perhaps it was a problem with my wording but your statement about the daily mail suggests you've entirely misunderstood me, but to be specific I'm generally left leaning and prefer broadsheets, though I currently mostly use aggregators to combine sources to find where the facts are as opposed to "cliche talking points".
I thought I was clear when I said that the effect on my wallet is where my opinion is formed, but it seems you might have missed that.
I have no problem with paying more tax as a higher earner, but I don't agree with a tax system that literally prevents me from earning a penny more and would even have me earn less unless I can find a significant jump.
You clearly have a different view on this but the facts of what I see right in front of me have little to do with talking points and consensus and everything, right now, to do with tax or the tax system.
I'm taxed too much on every penny I've earned over over £99,999 and way too much because of the privilege of having pre-school aged children, that's my opinion, agree or not.
>privilege of having pre-school aged children, that's my opinion,
Look at salary sacrifice. This give you the option of buying childcare vouchers before tax. So taking you below the 100,000. Otherwise pay more into pension and drop below the 100,000 threshold.
I wasn't aware of this, I'll take a look and see if it applies thanks.
The pension route is the way I've gone to deal with it, but it doesn't fix the issue of "my bills are going up while my income can't". I'm sure retired me will be glad for it if it makes it that far, and we don't somehow end up being taxed to the hilt on _that_ too when we eventually get there.

Not tax advice, not financial advice...

He keeps on top of the news from all outlets, and tries to look beyond the biases and form an opinion on a combination of sources.
