Budget 2009

Would it just be insane to have a set percentage for all? So it's all relative. Everybody has the same relevant impact to their finances. Take somebody earning £800 a month and somebody earning £4000. Losing £80 from a £800 wage packet is going to sting as much as losing £400 from a £4000 wage packet.

In end-money terms the difference is stark, but the structure is there. The lifestyle is different, and in stark constrasts like that, £400 and £80 will be seen in the same manner by the two cases. Different amounts but same attitude to the amount, if you know what I mean?
