Wow. The bottom 90% should find ways to contribute more.
- mtgx 7y agoI'm not sure if sarcasm or not, but do you believe that what would be "fair" would be for the bottom 90% to pay for 90% of the budget in taxes? Maybe in an ideal world that could be true, but it would also require for the bottom 90% to get 90% of the total income received in an given year. As we can see, that's nowhere near the case. So of course the single digit percentage of the population that makes the lion's share of total income also has to pay the lion's share in taxes.
- douglaswlance 7y agoThe bottom 90% should contribute 90% of the value to the world, instead they're only contributing 30%; while the 10% most successful contributors generate 70% of the value. That means 90% of people are not contributing as much as they could to society.
