You don't just pay taxes to get back the same amount. Taxes also include redistribution of wealth. In the US, a significant amount pays for social welfare and health insurance for the poor and elderly. That companies with healthy profit margins pay for this appears fairer than if it's just paid by small companies.

- zajd 9y agoWe have a progressive income tax, at least here in the US. Hard to argue that's not redistributing wealth, although I'd argue it's not enough :)
- philliphaydon 9y agoEducation system is failing, protects Teachers and fails kids, and is protected by a board who doesn’t want to change because their pockets are being lined with lots of money. Doesn’t seem like redistribution to me.
