Correction: the rich pay a lower tax rate than you.
They do pay, however, vastly more than you do.
The various governments have somehow managed to brainwash the masses into comparing rates instead of actual amount paid.
Very neat trick of you ask me.
- conanbatt 7y agoYeah this is a key issue. People often think that a Flat-tax rate is regressive because of consumer habits, but what you care the most of all is tax-consumption and tax-benefit, even more than nominal contributions. A billionarie made with defense contracts and state expenditures deserves a moral argument. But so does a lowly government employee that provides net negative value and collects a paycheck everymonth.
- troupe 7y agoEven in terms of tax rate, there are a surprisingly large number of people who pay no income or payroll taxes.
