I don't. Just as you don't know how many people fall into your fictional example. The moment one of the families in your example gets a pay rise of £5k they fall into my example. Whether the number is high or not, we both have the same problem.

As I have said many times now, the measure is a tad crude, which is unfortunate. The basic principle though is sound in my opinion, and I fail to see how anyone that considers himself left of centre can oppose it.
