Ideally, this would be tapered and looking at joint income. I think there is something to be said for avoiding the administrative cost of doing so though.
This is not a question about whether the state support the children of those who earn a middle income, this is about those who earn less, paying more than those who earn a high income. Then Boy George still has the audacity to continue to quote bad Disney teen movies.

As for your comment about affording children, that is a bit silly and a very stale cliché isn't it.
