The Gorse Fox has it confirmed today (in the papers):
"The gap between rich and poor has shrunk to its narrowest for two decades as hard-working families pay record tax bills, official figures revealed yesterday"

Let's not forget the impending addition of road use charging to that!
Families disposable income is rising at the slowest rate since records began

Our silent opposition party muttered something about
"a stark illustration of how the highest tax burden in history is impacting on Britain's hard-working families."

The statistics go on to show that
Those [taxpayers] from Berkshire and Sussex have the dubious honour of the bigger tax bills than anybody else with incomes not that much bigger
Gorse Fox would add that the local Council gets the smallest precept from the Government of any County in the UK. Surrey is similarly troubled
"Ministers feel that because Surrey has an average salary above the UK average, they can pick-pocket taxpayers without fear of retribution from their own voters"
