It's half of what people earn!!!!!! Rich people should pay more...but not that much more. And what does it go towards? In England they just spent something like £5million on hospital art....not actual care of patients...ART!!!!! out of taxpayers money.

The R.C. society has other matters to attend to at this moment in time, I'm afraid.

40% is not half of what they earn at all Freddie.

Leaving aside the obvious.

The first £5k is tax free.
The next £30k (approx) is taxed at 22%
Only after that is taxed charged at 40%

Whilst this is a lot, one way round paying super high salaries is to offer benefits such as private healthcare and pension schemes which avoid tax.

The richer you are the easier it is to avoid paying tax.

but at least spending on artwork can be profitable

for instance, if you got Damien Hirst to cut Shav in half with a chainsaw and pickle the parts in formaldyhide, the NHS could make enough money by auctioning it off to pay for 1,000 hip replacement operations
