Sorry I forgot I was replying to you and you prefer to deal in facts, Notchy facts.
So people with high value skills will need to earn less than they are worth, so that people with low value skills can earn more than they are worth.Why are you so obsessed with a figure that will always change.
What's needed is a direction change in wages. Not a specific figure.
People working full time should be paid enough to live on. It will mean those at the top have to sacrifice a bit of their pay. And that's what hurts you.
The economy needs people spending. To do that they need money to spend.
You support paying benefits as long as those at the top can get richer. That only helps a few.
Keep paying more and more taxes, because as the wage gap increases more and more will need those taxes in benefits.
Absolutely no sympathy with you being taxed more and more.
Yet you are against people on low pay being given benefits which are paid for by those who pay the highest taxes.
So it boils down to you thinking that if those who earn more than you pay more, so that those who earn less do not need “subsidies”, which you think you pay towards.
Politics of envy.
