    This issue, is this doesn’t.  It just impacts the economy, people’s incomes and raises no net revenue.  It pays for nothing but costs us dear.  I’d have no issues if it did.

    Isn't it helping to pay for Scottish Child payment, prescriptions and tuition fees?

    No.  It raises no additional net revenue.  It just costs middle earners more money.  And if it did, the small amount has been decimated by wastes.  Eg Ferries, failed legal cases etc.
