Video insights

@antonia_investing's TikTok video "In 502 out of 526 constituencies in England and Wales, benefits grew faster than pay over the last two years. Taxing top earners more is the most common answer I see. But the top 1% already pay more than a quarter of all income tax, and the top half pay 90% of it. Asking a small group to fund a bill that grows faster than everyone's wages gets harder every year, and that's before you add the state pension. Today the Conservatives pitched halving employer National Insurance for 21 to 24 year olds as their answer, while Labour calls it unfunded. This is for information only, not financial or political advice. Is "tax the rich" the answer, or is the real fix getting more people into work? I want to hear both sides below.
