This is actually even worse in many places in EU. I completely agree with your diagnosis and would also like to see your solution implemented.
I have an impression, taxation here in Europe is used as a political tool to play middle class and lower class against each other. And whatever the crisis, the middle class is expected to foot the bill. All the while, the powers that be use handouts to lower class to pacify them (prevent a revolution?)
