a lot of the rich people I work with are pretty adamant that they should be required to pay more tax
That tallies with what people have been saying to me this morning, but assuming the poll was from a representative sample then there will have been very few 45p ratepayers in it.
FT commenter summed it up well (and got in a brag about being on £250k):

The full thing is a disaster, but its the same with everything tory now. They really are just looking after themselves.
I seen someone on twitter moaning about struggling to make ends meet with 40k salary and someone replied saying they should be wasting there money if that's the case. 40k is bloody buttons now the way things are going, and its even worse for the majority of people on 20 ish

I'm not sure share your cynicism. I only have anecdata from what I do for a living but a lot of the rich people I work with are pretty adamant that they should be required to pay more tax. A lot of the middle earners too.
But maybe you're right. I'd love to see the same poll but split by income levels and with more specific questioning around their own taxation.
