In the UK, only 28% of high-income households surveyed in 2025 said they agree their taxes should go towards solving global problems – a huge drop from 41% in 2024. Low-income UK households (earning £14,999 per year or less) polled in the opposite direction and were actually more likely to agree than last year, while those on medium incomes (between £15,000 and £44,999) have stayed the same.

    So they don’t pay a penny towards those costs? For the median? As thats a lot of people.

    As its entirely wrapped in the tax already accounted for in that net income with the UK tax payer.

    I wasn’t expecting it to be the whole difference but I do know those that have to pay in the US pay a significant chunk of change.
