Why should we not? Genuinely curious.
Because they're the ones that ~~donate the most to political parties~~ give the most back to society, therefore they should be exempt, obviously.
Because "trickle down" economy was somehow thought to be legit.
Like, the rich get loads of money, so they do big things to make jobs.
Except they don't.
Rich people hoarde wealth, and pay people to ensure they don't have to pay taxes.
Rich companies increase profits, which is about the sole metric of a successful company (and when a metric becomes a target, it fails to be a metric). Then they try to keep increasing profits by cutting costs.
Oh, and wealth hoarders then bet on companies ability to constantly increase profits.
Wtf, opened it in browser to zoom in on phone but they somehow block that.
It worked for on firefox for android (zoom the pic).
It's possible I had previously changed some stock settings which allows it though.
It would be interesting to see the percentage of wealthy people in these countries, compared to nonwealthy, and compare those percentage to these ones here.
