If you're asking seriously, the answer is: absolutely. The countries with the highest levels of quality of level and most socioeconomic mobility have very high levels of taxation for the wealthiest. And they are doing just fine.
- junkscience2017 9y agothat includes the US, where taxation still is mostly borne by the rich
- Retric 9y agoNope, US phases out social security taxes and has vastly lower rates for capital gains etc. If you look at total earnings vs. total taxes paid including non income taxes the rich pay a lower share than the middle class. Remember gas taxes are just as much a tax as income or property tax.
- brucephillips 9y agoGP said nothing about wealth distribution, which is what you're describing.
