Hat tip to BBC Mark Easton tweet on this table left (click to bring up details).
The poorest 20% of households pay more of their income in taxes than the richest 20%.
36.6% against 35.5%.
Actually the poorest pays more than anyone else! I suspect that the Tory VAT tax hike may be one reason. Indirect tax rises punish the poor the most.
So - we are not all in this together!
