What I mean is that you are not taxed on the first £12750 you earn if you are working minimum wage full time, you only pay it on the roughly £6000 you've made after that, which works out to only about £1700 in income tax and national insurance.

So in the example above, they'd have more income than suggested.

Sort of - if you earnt 13k then you would be taxed down to 10k.

If you earned 13k , then you'd only pay tax on the £250 you've earned above the personal allowance no?

As far as I understand it, it's not that you don't pay taxes so long as you make less than the personal allowance, it's that the first £12750 you make is untaxed regardless of how much you make until you make more than £100k.

As far as I understand it, doctors can chose to stop accepting Medicare patients at all, focusing on the now far more lucrative private patients. This restricts the number and quality of doctors available to people on Medicaid.

Still an extra £2400 spread across the year though no? Compared to taking 20% from the total income.

Do you pay income tax on amounts lower than the personal allowance?

Knowing the ending spoils the fun of trying to guess what it will be as the media progresses.

Human Paladin baby 👉 😎 👉, it's time to smite evil and make flash moral judgements about desperate people in bad situations without care for context or the sanctity of life.

On top of everything else saying native Americans were cannibals is uniquely offensive.

Because all Native Americans are Algonquian?

We know that the Minoans had lots of images of women, and that those women were frequently depicted as high status, but that's not really evidence that the society itself was matriarchal.

Were the women depicted regular people? Priestesses? Rulers? Deities? We don't know. But there's a lot of space between "not as patriarchal as their neighbours" and "A Matriarchal society".

Archaeology without an associated written record is necessarily speculation, and while we can always interpret more interesting conclusions from them, they're not any more valid than the less interesting ones that can be supported on the same evidence.

The Etruscan language was not Indo-European, but all historical accounts we have of them are all well past the Indo-European migration.
