Its disgraceful. What about single parents?? You can have a two income household with both wage earners earning 25k, and paying the lower percentage tax. A single parent with just one wage to supportthefamily pays double tax with no tax credit support.

Why the hell do we encourage our kids to have a good education, work hard and furthertheir career when theyre to get penalised for it.

I work in sales and remember a good amount of time ago, deliberately stopping doing my job so I wouldnt getpushedinto the highertax bracket (with commission) and being worse off

Why should people work hard to better themselves and earnmore, only to be penalised.

Absolutely atrocious.
