If this is the case Mr. Comedy, then all I have to say is boo-fuckng-hoo. Honestly.
I would not say that, as this also means annually he will be paying £55,000 in tax which is outragous!

Oh shit, I wonder what hes going to do with his measly £110k. Hes going to starve!

The major component in him earning that quantity of money is not his own abilities, its his being born in the UK/US/not Africa. As the state of Britain through its longterm investment in infrastructure, security, health and education is what enabled his personal success, there is a case to be made that he owes a substantial quantity of money to Britain.
If workshy slobs are that big a problem, surely you've got the figures available that you can tell me how much of Mr. Comedy's tax contribution goes to the Welfare state and how much of the Welfare state is wasted on scams/workshy slobs.

No offence, but you are definately not earning £165,000 gross PA then.

I think a personal contribution of £55,000 is a substantial contribution. I think 1/3 of your gross income is more than enough.
And it is personal abilities. Your comment on that it is not is crass. Not everyone in the UK earns £165,000 therefore it must be down to the individual.
One cannot be punished for being born in a country which gives people a good chance in life.
You arguments are frankly ridiculous.

The head start is 90% of where most people finish. If most people never had those opportunities then the least you could do is pay tax to increase how widely those opportunities are provided. To do otherwise is to claim moral superiority for simply having received the opportunities.
Mr Comedy: Yes, the market does decide which abilities are most valuable but its hard to acquire the abilities to make yourself useful to industry while being a subsistence farmer/banana picker.
Quoting Mr Comedy from 15:21, 8th Dec 2006
I'm similarly inclined. As the average global earning is in the region of £2,500 I hope that you will find it in your capability to redistribute any extra above this you earn to the third world. Obviously if this is the case, it would be poor form to claim any assistance from the welfare state, so I hope that you don't resort to this either.

So in summation you are criticing us for earning money whilst insisting that you'll do bugger all about it yourself?

Exactly Mr Comedy. Well said.
I think Senethro suffers from the old "i'll tell everyone else what to do because it will never affect me" syndrome.
If you asked someone of benefits what they would do to the tax system i suspect they would say, "tax the rich more". That is becuase they will never be rich not becuase they believe in it as a principle.
If you earned a lot of money i suspect your opinions would be very different.
