Why do you (and LibDems) claim that High Earners pay more tax than their cleaners and then quietly qualify it by paying "in %age terms". High earners pay MORE £tax (unless they avoid or evade; different issue). Therefore their cleaners pay less £tax. Why is the %age view significant? Why not the reciprocal of the £amount? I assume the %age view allows for a "good" story. It is also a misleading, if not dishonest, story. Why should high earners pay more in taxes? What do they get for their money*? What would happen if high earners paid more tax and others less? Probably less investment and more waste on nail bars, football kits and silly "trainers".If taxes to pay for services are based on earnings, why not the price of a bag of fish and chips?
* probably they value public services more highly; they have more to protect and lose if the services fail.
