I have just watched an interesting American documentary about income tax.
Whilst of course there are many more dimensions to the issue, it pointed out that Americans and Brits are both collectively yearning for the super-productive days of the 1950’s and 1960’s again. Seemingly it was a period of growth, job security and was the time when both countries had an identifiable middle class.
Interestingly, it was also the time when both countries had tiered income tax systems with a top rate of up to 90%.
The documentary compared the changing demographics in both countries with the ever reducing top tier of tax. High tier taxes today are around the lowest they have ever been and this correlates with a reduction in the middle class.
It was quite incredible and almost unbelievable how the shrinking middle class followed the same trajectory as the reducing top tier tax rate.
There is of course more to this - I am fairly sure of that. But the illustration was quite startling. |

Sounds interesting. I'm inclined to think that both countries are following a government inspired trajectory, made more tangible from the 1980s, where deregulation, especially of the finance sector, a shift to neo-liberal ideology, has helped to safely drive greater levels of wealth into the (frequently off-shored) pockets of select groups, whilst fulfilling the increased normalisation of proximity towards subsistence living for the majority.
The UK has potentially taken a move towards greater accomplishment of this, by pursuit of the millionaires' Brexit dreams enabled for them via working and middle class voters  |
