Paying tax isn't being shafted, it's contributing. It's a good thing. Great public services cost money to run and I'm happy to pay my bit towards them.

I'm afraid I've lots track of the various childcare things, mine got too big.

It's being shafted if it isn't proportionate and fair, though. I'm not arguing for all taxes to be cut (or for them to be cut at all, really). I just think the two weird steps in the graph above are bad as they mean some people get a worse deal because they fall into a certain income band.
