arguing about whether rich people should pay more taxes is a way of distracting you, and manipulating your behavior.

it creates camps, and gets you to fight amongst yourselves.

the real questions we should be asking are:

does government do moral things with the money we entrust to them to do our will?

does the government do what we tell them to do with the money we entrust to them with to do our will?

is it more effective to pay for projects and charities directly without using government bureaucracy as a middleman?

is there evidence of fraudulent use and theft of the money we entrust to them to carry out our will?

until these questions are asked and answered, discussions of “who should pay more” is just a way to keep you distracted and paying into a corrupt system.
