If the dough you earn helps you to live then why bother worrying about others earnings.
The bloke over the road has a brand new vogue but I'm not jealous and give up driving because of it.
I reckon the politics of envy are at work here.
You generally get out what you put in in all situations

that's exactly what I'm saying - I should not be penalised for earning more (or doing more hours) over and above the percentage tax that everyone pays
