You know as well as I do, that even if tax was the same % for all (say 30%), the (very) wealthy would end up paying less.
The wealthy have the means to employ accountants, and the drive to use every loophole in the book.
How fair would it be, again assuming 30% tax for all, if a bloke the average wage of £25k-ish ended up paying more tax than a person earning £500k?
Frankly that's the biggest issue here as far as I'm concerned. It almost doesn't matter what the rate is for people earning above £80k. They will simply arrange their finances, as they always do, to avoid every single penny of that. You can bet that suddenly people earning £149,999.99 a year will now mystically earn £79,999.99 a year instead.
It's entirely unfair to buy into a them and us mentality like this post (or the one it is responding to).
Just as there are many people on benefits trying pretty damn hard to do better for themselves, there are billionaires who go out of their way to pay representative taxes such as the Rowling's and Dyson's of the UK.
The point of a reasonable increase in tax at the top end isn't to punish people, it is to say, this is what the people of the UK deem fair.
After that Avoidance or Evasion may happen, both can have consequences, a Labour government with Corbyn are likely to use the tax office more wisely than the conservatives and no doubt fund it better. At the very high end, it is very possible to make information on avoidance (particularly) more widely available than the one negotiation at a time approach of the Conservatives.
