Modern war taxes hit all classes in Britain
The British war tax schedule spreads the burden from ditch diggers to millionaires. An unmarried earner with 480 pounds pays 3 pounds. a 1000-pound married man pays about 29, a 2000-pound earner about 250.

Living standards fall as the guns replace bread and clothing, a shared sacrifice across nations at war.
