For eg it wouldn't concern me if you had a flat tax starting from £25k, if it netted a greater gain for the revenue and delivered higher living standards.
I was originally going to post something sarcy along the lines of when pigs fly. But then I tried to imagine how this could happen. And it would be possible with a radical re-equalisation of salaries.
Which I guess is the same thing as pigs flying.
