This is what I was saying to seemingly the only Tory (there's plenty of ukip racists though) in Levenshulme on a local Facebook group the other day when he was all "why should I bother working for more than £80k when I'll just get taxed more?" firstly it's only on what you earn over that, so you still get more money, and secondly, any pay rises you get at that wage are unlikely to be 15p an hour like most people used to get when pay rises were a thing, and more like a few £k extra salary taking into account the fact you're on a higher tax band so will be worked around take home anyway.
