Ouch... I'm sure ours will go up more in due time.
America has hit the 70% tax rate several times throughout history... even in the 90+% tax rate a few years not so long ago. I'm sure the UK has taken a beating a few times as well.
It's just the way things balance out. More wars, more spending, more of everything, has to be paid for either way. It's not one thing, it's everything.
