Loves that !

but honestly this will only help the middle class who already earn above or close to the 40% threshold, whereas increasing the tax allowance by a mere 2 grand ins't that major, since it already is being increased gradually last several years it has been going up by min of 1/2 a grand to mitigate the souring inflation.

Right now in the uk the middle class are being split into two groups, those who will succeed and become upper class, and those who won't be able to cope with the rapid change and fall back down to working class, it is interesting times indeed, David Cameroon is a wolf walahi.

^ good analysis but one mistake: you can't become upper class, no matter how much money you earn. Upper classnimo is associated with titles, nobility, gentry (land-owners) etc.

That's the old fashion definition of Upper class. Upper class nowadays just means your grandaddy was a rich man.

^ Not really. The snobbish term to distinguish these is "old money" and "new money". Upper Class = old money. "new money" = "nuveau riche" = loaded chavs.

lol. New money and Old money are in the same class of wealth. There are no disparing differences between them. It's how they spend their money and how much more mature they are with it that separates them. That was the whole point and reoccurring motif in the novel The Great Gatsby. I can become Upper Class right now if I was to make a billion dollars overnight If I traded perfectly on the NYSE despite my Abo was just a geel jire.

No one was discussing/protesting that, what are you on about
We were talking about the definition of Upper Class. Middle Class = related to profession, Upper Class = titles (i.e. Royalty/Nobility/Gentry, in that order)

[unstoppablefade]

This is a new era in which the social structure system is different, capitalism allows anyone to become rich due to the free opportunities that are there which weren't available before. We aren't limited to those stupid definitions of upperclass anymore. Nobody gives a fuck about nobility in 2014. The only thing thats noble is how many 0s are in your bank account naya

[YummyMummy]

why you getting wound up over a term? Besides you're forgetting that these terms are and always will be alive in Britain.
You're in a republic, so you wouldn't quite understand.

I'm glad im not paying taxes to some old crusty vagina hag. God Bless North America, where instead I get to pay taxes that go to ensure Jareer prison inmates bumrape other Somalis.
