Tax is a divisive issue and it always has been. This is because many of us care deeply about the fundamental question of
Am I getting richer or poorer?
The author of this post has answered their own question. Am I getting poorer if everyone is contributing proportionally to the burden of tax? No.
I only become poorer due to tax because I pay proportionally more than people earning more than me.
Short of an absolutely radical restructuring of the society we live in, taxes are a necessity, so why do they make the very rich so much richer (proportionally)?
