Thing is the 50% tax on the top earners won't impact people earning just over £150k - as they only pay 50% tax on anything above that figure. It's people earning millions that will be hit harder. It makes for a nice headline, but at the end of the day the amount raised by it is chickenfeed compared to the amount wasted every year.

Or, alternatively, don't measure their personal image entirely on how much money they earn.


I don't I measure people on how hard people work, not on how much they earn.
