    Top Earners Paying £8 Billion More Tax ...

    ... according to Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne.

    Osborne insists his gamble (in 2012) to slash the 50p rate to 40p for those earning more than £150,000 per annum, has paid~off in the period since.

    "Official *figures confirm this to be the case", the Chancellor continued.

    Whereas, his opposite number on Labour's Front Benches, John McDonnell argues, ... such measures meant senior, white collar, managerial employees had been in a financially-stable enough position to enable them to defer taking their salaries until after the controversial rate came into effect.

    Certainly it's right and proper, of course, that the highest earners are taxed accordingly.

    But there're lies, damn lies - and [then] there are *statistics!
