- Tax take illiteracy
How many more times are political pundits like Robert going to push out this false nonsense about the richest paying the lion’s share of total tax take. They simply don’t.

It comes from dividends and capital gains which are both taxed at lower rates than earnings, and it comes from property income, on which they don’t pay NI. Please Robert, stop with your inaccurate and lazy analysis.
