You do realize taxes are not the same amount taken from everyone? And if you're poor enough you don't pay anything on taxes. If you're a step above that, you get back everything you paid on taxes at the end of the year. I'm not really sure why you think tax funded lunches would garnish wages from the poor.
I love how everyone stars with "you do realize". Nobody here is interested in conversation.
Yes, I do know that. Is there a cost of living crisis? Do you think higher tax payers are also finding it had to make ends meet?
Should we change the threshold, perhaps, where does that lost revenue come from? We would need to sort that out.
