England Top league: Premier League Example salary: £200,000-a-week Top rate tax: 45% Salary after tax: £106,206-a-week The return of the top rate tax to 45 per cent, following a brief two-year increase to 50 per cent between 2010 and 2012, will no doubt have been welcomed Premier League footballers, presumably all of whom will be on wages well in excess of the top rate tax threshold of £150,000-a-year. A handful of the leagues top players - including Wayne Rooney - can be expected to command a salary in excess of £200,000-a-week. After tax this would be £106,206-a-week, meaning the player would trouser a cool £5.5million each year - and thats before the other millions such players rake in through sponsorship.

Its sad how twisted and upside down the world we live in. When injured soldiers cant even afford to live properly, where after being burnt so bad by explosions, each time they breathe there lungs hurt and they have to depend on the kindness of shows like Extreme MakeOver to raise money to give them homes for them and there families to live in, they have to raise over $1.1 Million to build proper houses for these wounded that go out every day to risk there lives to protect us. (Even the Government who sends them there reject them) Who are you to say that one mans life is worth more to kick a ball than the other who leaves there families to go out there, to make sure you spoilt, rich up your @#!^ , sleep peacefully in your beds while they sleep in sand boxes and still live after a being blown up or shot, to protect everyone of us. They are the lives worth praising not the ones who are getting obscene amount of money a WEEK and cant even win a game in the WORLD CUP.
