"skilled earners" here being a euphemism for inherited wealth oligarchs and trust fund kiddies, or are we pretending wage earing individuals are included in the top 1%?
- kwere 4y agomost income for the state is from income tax, trust fund kids and oligarchs dont have high income tax[0] , and the wealth tax can be easily lowered by tax planning [0]https://www.oecd.org/tax/revenue-statistics-france.pdf https://www.oecd.org/tax/revenue-statistics-france.pdf
- forgetfreeman 4y agoSeems like a fixable problem.
- vorpalhex 4y agoPlease fix it. Until you are able to successfully do so, the rest of us will work on other solutions.
- cperciva 4y agoare we pretending wage earing individuals are included in the top 1%? You seem to be confusing the top 1% with the top 0.01%. The vast majority of top 1% income earners -- in Canada, the number was recently reported as 95% by Statistics Canada -- are employed, with the largest numbers being in management, medicine, and "business professional" (lawyers, accountants, etc) professions.
- forgetfreeman 4y agoI suppose that's fair. Quibbling about where to put the decimal point doesn't invalidate the larger issue however.
