I haven't been bitching one bit. My taxes are fine the way they are; I am just not a big fan of Corbyn's plan for reason I have laid out a couple of pages ago. I was simply making the point now that feeling rich is relative to some extent; where I work and live, I certainly don't feel rich whatsoever despite being in the top percentile (e.g., buying a property is prohibitively expensive for instance; no wonder why, where I live, most landlords are foreign millionaires/billionaires).
Ohhhhkay...
Last year alone, I contributed 30 years worth of tax contribution from the average UK tax payer. Not that I am complaining about that, but just wanted to point out that taxation is in fact progressive in case you were wondering.
Based on average income and tax (5k and it's probably closer to 6k so I'm being kind) on that income I calculate you earn around 380k a year and yet you don't consider yourself rich? Get to absolute fuck.
London is a large city, mate. I was referring to Central London. My job requires me to live close to work; I wouldn't make ends meet at £30-40k.
I don't know many doctors, paramedics or firefighters that earn 380k, what field do you work in that requires you to be so close to your workplace?
