For leftists, no amount of taxes will ever be enough on the wealthy.

That the Top 10% carry the entire shitshow of government doesn’t register for them.

That half the people contribute so little that it’s effectively a rounding error makes no sense.

All the problems in society would be solved by just taking more money from the rich and giving it to their pet projects so we can all have “free” shit.

This is all you can ever expect from liberal democracy - parasites convincing a underclass to target the minority of the most productive in the economy to carry both of them on their backs.

True enough. But under Capitalism, half our 1%ers would lose their shirts. The cost of government isn't only, or even mostly, the taxes.

It also depends on the % of the rich that are cantilionaires who make money from this system.

If you don't feel like a victim, you won't delegate your power to another, you'd enjoy having agency, its all just a cop out! I think people also don't see that taxing and inflation is not just wealth confiscation, that is the seen, the unseen is all the wealth destruction from all the goods and ser...

Oooft that infographic makes me wanna get a pitchfork.

Also, taxes will always increase.

Say what you will, I think there are some folks that have too much “money” or “wealth”. It negatively skews the society. It does.

Income inequality is a feature, not a bug. But too much inequality destabilises society, leads to turmoil, revolt, and redistribution. Progressive taxation is an attempt to redistribute nonviolently. I’m not sure there’s another option… open to ideas tho.

You want to tax everyone's income equally? That's retarded I want to get rid of income taxes altogether Taxes should be on shit like fuel and cigarettes, not work and housing
