When i studied macroeconomics, I was taught tax is the bad guy, as it reduces spending power hence a lower AD that slows the economy.
When I did public policy later, tax is the main source of public revenue to provide public goods, and for myself i always sees it as a redistribution tool, in an ideal scenario, where power is not in play & corruption does not exist.
With the existing unequal opportunities, how would you suggest we overcome this stealing issue & at the same time ensure that those left behind gets the opportunity to earn?
