Petition against marginal 60% tax rate in UK if you earn 100k

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/109941

Even if this doesn't affect you now, if you're a UK airline pilot or wannabe airline pilot this will likely affect you in the future.

The current system introduced by the last Labour government imposes a marginal income tax rate of 60% up to a current income level of £121,200pa, plus 2% NI, leaving the worker with only 38% of this slice of income. This means if you earn 100-121k you earn the highest tax rate of anyone in the UK. It's grossly unfair.
