Thank you for explaining what's actually going on. Groups like the "Taxpayers Alliance" (which is where I suspect our friend is getting their information from) are actually very right-wing, extreme libertarian think tanks pushing an agenda that's supposed to make people feel like taxation is unfair. Personally, I don't actually pay myself particularly well but I still pay as much tax as I possibly can, even though I despise the current government. I claim none of the deductions I'm entitled to, and I still have enough to live comfortably. The tories and austerity have spent more than a decade destroying this country.
