should the rich pay more tax?

No, they pay more than enough to the undeserving poor, let alone to the deserving poor.

Well at least you now see that some poor people are "deserving".

I would prefer it if the tax % was the same for all earners. That way the rich still get taxed more but not by a ridiculous amount. Just seems counter-intuitive. You work hard and then get about 40% of your salary taken away.

And I think they get they more than enough.

I'm not sure about the rich, but the mega-rich definitely should, they wouldn't even suffer and it could make such a difference

No, they pay more than enough to the undeserving poor, let alone to the deserving poor.

The rich evidently have more money, so on that basis they can be taxed.

But I find we as British envy/detest the rich a lot (at least speaking badly of wealthy people is common). Do people only support higher taxes on rich people since they want them to "pay" for being rich?

Im poor I agree my dad is poor but his problems he brought upon himself He could have got a house by now but chose to take loans for 'fun'. Paki immigrant parents are so DUMB. He wont let me fix up his accounts because he is embarrassed yet he comes home and shouts at my family cus of his debt. RICH people usually work and deserve there pay.

1 - You cannot make the assumption that everyone who is poor is poor because of their own fault. It may be the case with your father, but certainly you cannot make that assumption for everyone.

2 - Many rich people do work for their pay. But many poor people work hard too, and get grossly underpaid. Also many rich people don't work for their money.

I know I was Marxist till last year when I realized that the 'poor' whom I cared for and was part of were the same people who tormented me throughout secondary school

and are the Chavs

and poor of tomorrow.

I found most have the opportunities but choose to not take them

further still they torment those who wish to take them.

I also found that most of the super rich were lucky or lying Bankers

In this nation those born here have decent opportunities its up to them to take it

therefore most of the 'richish' people should not pay for the Chavs to buy JD hoodies. Yea I realised last year chavs spoilt my yr7-11 life.

Again a false assumption. Most poor people are not bullies.



Again another false assumption. Being poor does not mean you are a chav.



Accurate, but only because those born poor are more likely to die poor (and those rich are more likely to die rich). We have a serious lack of social mobility in this country.



True for some. Not true for others.



Again a false assumption as most poor people are not bullies. Some are. Just as some rich people are.



Exactly.



Not always.



Again, you are assuming all poor people are chavs.
