Well I am hardly rich and I am below the official average income level. However I keep my living costs down, and have very few luxuries.
Paying an extra 11% tax wouldnt be nice but I could deal with it.
Its not the case of been able to afford its more a case of willingness to pay it.
Remember income tax levels are historically "very" low.
If someone doesnt want to pay for something the easiest thing to say is "I cant afford it".

I think they will moan and groan like they usually do.
Whether or not they would eventually leave if their moaning got them nowhere, I have no idea as the government always backs down.
