Bi0Hazard: That would be a very simple progressive tax system on income.

The issue is actually rarely connected to the precise percentages used. It's more about where you can hide that income. For example in many countries, trusts or capital gains are taxed differently. This tends to benefit the rich who can afford to invest in these things, and that's how most tax avoidance happens.

In any case, I don't know how to make online donations.

Dassault Papillon: Why apply a different standard to government?

admin: My beef lies with the people who continue to complain about the rich despite the benefits, not necessarily that the benefits are enjoyed. You made this Site free and public; as such, you've given your consent for virtually anyone to use it. Given this, a problem would emerge if I started railing about edeb8's lack of a polls section or userbase and demanded that you change this.

Dassault Papillon: If I thought taxes should be higher on the rich, would you say that's part of the entitlement culture that you oppose?

admin: Provided that the existing rate is equal to or greater than the percentage of income paid by the poor then yes.

Dassault Papillon: I don't see why that follows. This idea that everyone should contribute with respect for their means isn't entitlements in my view, it's simple fairness to ask of people what they can afford.
