I guess it also depends on your outgoings doesn't. If it means less lego, then that's one thing.
If you were the sole breadwinner with a couple of kids in full time childcare and a small mortgage then it might be different.

Isn't that one of the problems with asset inflation? Even people earning a shit load don't feel that rich because it's so expensive to buy e.g. a big family home. So no one regards themselves as rich, which makes the "tax the people with more than me" effect stronger than it would be otherwise

People like me should be paying more tax to pay for top notch childcare for people you describe.

I'm a higher rate tax payer earning well above the UK average and delighted to contribute half my income to public services. I wish I was taxed more and public services were better, I can survive with less Lego.
