You are trying to look at it from a different perspective. I'm saying look at it from the perspective of the individual being asked for £18k.
I am looking at it from outside, as I am neither a student, nor someone who is subject to our hypothetical 18k tax.
Let me put it this way.
Let's stick to the original argument, the imposition of an 18k tax on everyone (not 'middle England'), would see people take to the streets - and as such is comparable with student tuition fees and the protests against those fees.
That's the argument I am disagreeing with, I can't see a comparison.
