Mostly, the problem is that these latest tax measures are being aimed at the wrong people.
People at the bottom of the range, those who are most likely working part time and needing top-ups from the government to barely get by, are going to be dragged into paying taxes because of the threshold freeze, which will severely impact them, while those at the top will barely notice, it will be little more than a rounding error to them.
Proportionally, those at the bottom are being asked to payn more, again, than those at the top.
maybe if thoe at the top were being asked to pay more, they might ask for better value for money.
But not like they do at the moment, where they are demanding cuts to the benefits system, which largely wouldn't be neccesary if they were to pay their workers a decent wage.
