There is not incentive for people to work hard and pay UK taxes if we increase the rate of tax. High earns will either try harder to avoid tax or leave the UK,

No one deserves to have a larger portion of their income taken away, simply because they earn more. If the government introduced a flat rate, higher earners would still pay more tax. It’s that simple.

 @9FM2W67disagreed…6mos6MO

Usually higher earners put more money back into the economy in terms of purchasing or employment so you want more wealthy people

will increase funds to spend in other sectors and also decrease what we send in aid to other countries and spend on our own

Increasing taxes on the rich will bring the percentage they pay in real terms (including sales taxes and council taxes) more in line with lower income households

If you increase taxes for the wealthy the wealthy will decide to be wealthy elsewhere. You are admitting that this will be a corporate run society with minimal innovation and we will be spoon fed by governments corporations and big pharma with a universal wage. There will be no invective to cross the threshold of being a small business to a global supplier because the tax burden would cripple any small transition long business within the first couple of financial periods.

Taxes are not to be lived on but a means of ensuring that the public services that the country appreciate most are funded.

People should be allowed to keep more of the money they earn fairly rather than it going to government policies which won't impact or benefit them
