You're thinking different "rich".
When poor people talk about "taking from the rich", they typically mean (well) salaried people. Their bosses, managers, higher up employees… folks they personally know, just with more income.
The truly wealthy you describe are of course unaffected. But they're also off the radar for most – too far removed from their daily experience. And difficult to fleece for the state. So the sacrificial goat always ends up being the middle class.
- orwin 3y agoNo, they mean wealthy people. I had a discussion yesterday about an incremental inheritance tax of 10% every 50 month of minimum wage income. Basically in my country, that would mean 10% of the money you have bellow 65k, 20% of the money you have between 65 and 130k... Until 100% is txed. We might see increase in minimum wages soon.
