This is a question Protest!

Sit-ins. Walk-outs. Smashing up the headquarters of a major political party. Chaining yourself to the railings outside your local sweet shop because they changed Marathons to Snickers. How have you stuck it to The Man?

Incurring this debt
means that the vast majority who will earn over £21,000 will pay an extra 9% tax on that proportion of their income for the next 30-odd years of their working lives. They won't pay it off early, I incurred £7,000 of loans and I haven't paid it all off 9 years later.

Its effectively a tax on the children of the middle classes as the rich kids will pay up front, the poor kids won't pay at all.

Why is it fair that two people with the same degree doing the same job for the same wage will get taxed at different rates purely because their parents salaries were different when they were 18? Both have gone to uni and used the same resources, why does one pay more?

Good point.
That warrants some more thought. Thank you!
