The minimum wage is low pay, no doubt. People on it are supported in terms of pensions, NHS and welfare by higher earners.
Hang on, the state pension is linked to contrubutions through national insurance (and everybody who works for long enough gets one). I worked a minimum wage job for years and received no welfare (either from the government or the rich). Also, last time I checked, the NHS was there for all of us, not just the working poor…
Forgive me if I’m misquoting, but this makes me quite uncomfortable. If you are talented or lucky enough to be earning £100k plus a year then bloody good luck to you, you’ve clearly done well and no one should begrudge you your salary. Also, I get that tax is a pain in the backside, but it is fundamentally untrue that the tax paying rich support people on lower pay.
