"Pay more tax than anyone else" is hollow when they also earn more than anyone else. We're talking about rates, not absolute figures.
Eg, the "earned" and "tax paid" absolute totals need to be properly proportionate to each other, which is what most of the objections have been about. ;-)
- sbuk 9y agoI get the counter argument. I simply disagree with it. Or more, I disagree with the way it’s put. As a share holder, I’m more than happy with the status quo. A business or individual should be expected to pay what they don’t have too. That would be charitable donation, which is ironically tax deductible! I disagree with the richeously indignant who suggest otherwise...

- scott_karana 9y agoHuh? I was only talking about how it's disingenuous to talk about being the "biggest tax payer" when their effective rate still might be lower than what they "should have to pay" because of their complex accounting strategies. Not about progressive tax rates, which your comment seems to be about?
