Short YouTube monologue by Anthony Astbury arguing that working for someone else imposes a hard ceiling on personal earnings: typical salaried workers (example: £60–70k) face limited upside even with salary increases and substantial tax. The clip warns that doubling pay rarely occurs and taxes (cited at ~45%) further cap take-home income.

Work for someone else. There's basically a limit on how much you can ever earn. I know this. I have guys in my own network who, yes, they've got a good job, but there's two things. One, let's say they earn 60 or 70,000 a year. Now, even if their salary got doubled, which is never going to do, their ceiling is like 120 to 140,000 a year, and that's it. And you're going to pay 45% of that in tax.
