I'm not envious or even the bit interested how much someone else earns or has in the bank, what house they live in, what car they drive or how many helicopters they own, I'm only interested in how much I'm being screwed.
The answer to reducing my tax to a fair level where I'm not having over 60% taken off me isn't to chase a unicorn tax.

Again, you preach the line again: "taxing the rich does not work". That is what they want you to say and you duly oblige
However the most ironic part is that you do not mind how many helicopters they own, how many mansions they have, etc. yet you whinge about paying too much tax. Spoiler alert: if they paid more tax (much smaller, as a percentage, than you do), you would not have to pay so much.
