You're really giving it to that straw man. You must be tired now.

Lol no, this is a transparent plea for validation.

No-one views tax as punitive. The real anger from the nation is directed at:

1. The financial class who has enough wealth to use non-dom status, offshore trusts and similar vehicles to dodge tax, which vehicles are not available to hoi polloi 2. Merely comfortably-rich people who wank off about how they are "job creators"

You DO get paid more. Save your whining for your therapist.

Whining? I'm hardly the one getting upset here.

Taxes are punitive when they're greater for some people than others. Not only is the absolute value paid much great, but so too is the relative amount. We're all paying into a pot unevenly and taking out unevenly. It's completely unfair.
