Here is a thought about our tax system...
Citizens with money pay the most tax... So if our large poor population had more money, they could pay more tax and take the Burdon off the middle and upper middle class.
So a living wage would give the government a larger and deeper pocket to dig into.
Also it should be clear to tax payers that their money goes to help everyone especially themselves if they are down on their luck as well as doing nice social projects.
Tax should not be used to fix the mess caused by sub living wage effects.
No harm has come out of giving people a living wage in places where it has been put into practice. It was a slippery slope to have let it happen in the first place and it is a sign of incompetence
As well as unfettered property speculation.
