Tracey Emin to Quit UK Over Tax?

I've been a fan of Tracey Emin (mainly for her attitude as I'm not an arty type normally), but I can't agree with her view that she will soon be overtaxed. If she earns over £150,000 per year then her taxes should go up to help pay for those of us who are less well off. (Imagine the tax bills of footballers who get £150,000 PER WEEK.) She reckons that about 65% of what she earns will go to the government...well I think that's fine; I know I'd like to earn enough to be paying that rate of tax!
