my point stands even if you use top 1% or top 0.1%. no matter what you use for [income tax], the group size and revenue generated in income taxes by them will be far disproportionate. this is an inherent property of the distribution.
- bilbo0s 2y agoYes, but it's OK for the top 0.1% to shoulder a greater than 0.1% of the burden. Why? Because that enormously expensive army we're maintaining is protecting mostly their stuff. Setting aside the fact that, say, poor people, have no money; why should the poor pay an equivalent share to protect the wealthy person's property?
