Maybe we should begin asking this question

Of every pound I earn how much do I deserve to keep? Simple. This question, mutatis mutandis was asked of Congresswoman Jan Schakowski. The subsequent discussion was illuminating. More here and here.

So, ladies and gentlemen of the House of Commons and of this unelected Coalition, what percentage of our income do we deserve to keep and what percentage do you think we should hand over to you to waste spend on plans you have made for our better existence? Oh for a media interviewer that will ask that question.
