They sell it to people who care less as the "fair share" and use various psychological mechanisms to build hatred towards those who earn more.
Labour wants everyone to be a PAYE serf and work for big corps owned by friends of the party ideally for peanuts.
Then you have an army of so called useful idiots who think if they keep spreading this ideology, then the party will somehow notice and give them a cushy "job" somewhere.

The problem isn't salary, it's corporate greed and the reluctance to tax things properly. It's the 0.5% hoovering the wealth - the top 10% of the top 5% that's the problem. I don't see people on 70k and think they're particularly rich. When you consider that they could easily have a 300k mortgage on a 400k property, you look at their household as a limited company and do a simply P&L account for them.
Take home pay per month from 70k with 5% pension contribs is £3,929
Mortgage, say, £1,300
Two cars on PCP, £700
Two phones on contract, £80
Sky package and other Netflix, Spotify, etc £100
Other bills - energy, water, CT, etc - £400
Soon mounts up and there's nothing there for food, clothes, without exceptional stuff like school fees, gym membership, etc.
Rich is relative. I'm sure a single-income household on 70k is fecking stressed at the moment and would have gone under if they were furloughed.
