The wealth class tears up our roads, makes more use of our common infrastructure, and oh yeah, gains access to a pre-literate workforce despite wanting to starve all of it for tax breaks.
Progressive taxation simply means when you're a winner in society, you get to pay back the society that provided all of the conditions that facilitated your success in the first place. Wouldn't a sane person want to?
Instead they usually congratulate themselves, even upon inheritance, for having earned the exploited money in their portfolio with no help whatsoever.
I think the wealthy should pay higher taxes, and a flat tax rate is stupid
But I don't think "the wealthy use more infrastructure" is a good argument to get there
Arguably that use of infrastructure is to the benefit of all society right?
