i live in the UK not the US for which im eternaly greatfull

I am grateful you live in the UK too. I assume if you lived here, you would expect me to pay for you to live.

Let me put this into perspective... I pay over 35% in taxes, and I work for a living (I am not rich).

That means if the government took there share first, I would have to work January, and give it all to them. Then work February, and give it all to them. Then work March, and give it all to them. Then work April, and give it all to them. After a few days in May, I can start keeping what I make.

If I was in the lower 30% income earners, I would start keeping what I make January 1.

Somehow, I think I do ok by the poor. Asking me to do more is a little crazy.
