Petition Everyone to pay 25% tax on income earned in the UK

More details

- the tax system in the UK is too complicated.
- this is evidenced by the annual announcements of overpayments and under payments.
- most importantly, too many people in the UK get away with paying very little tax due to various loopholes.
- if everyone paid 25% tax the richest in society would pay MORE than they do now.
- this would increase overall tax revenues whilst simultaneously putting more money in the pockets of those who need it most.
- a referendum to be held asking the British Public what THEY want.
