No tax on overtime in England

What the petition asks
It's enough to tax base rate. It's fair to tax on basic income. Whatever is over, should be entirely granted to the worker for his hard work. Take example from US.
The threshold for income is unbearable. As for most of middle class we will hit 40% barrier.
