You honestly believe that?
As an example of how high earners don't pay tax, did you know that Simon Cowell (he of Pop Idol/X-Factor and recording industry fame) paid over £21 Million in tax last year. Yes, over TWENTY ONE MILLION POUNDS IN TAX.
That figure is more than the profit made on all the speed cameras in the country (source: Steven Ladyman, Minister of State for Transport, interviewed on Top Gear)
This is just one man's contribution into society.
Now do you think that their contribution isn't worth it.
