It’s in our best interest to do things to stay in the “should be higher taxed” group, rather than the guillotine group. And I don’t think it’s as simple as wealth, but how you got it and what you do with it.
Do you cause misery in your wealth accumulation, or support better jobs for everyone: better health and safety conditions, better benefits, higher pain, share in profits/efficiency, etc
Do you hoard your wealth or spend on excessive luxury, or do you direct more to uplift those who didn’t catch the same bus?
I’m under no illusion that I have anything in common with working poor here, much less in less developed countries, but I do know I side more with them than the wealthy. I do know that giving even the least fortunate access to the same bus stop helps us all. I do know that there is a lot that can be done by taxing me more, more of what I have should be redistributed to provide the basics, to start building a more level playing field
I hope to deserve being in “should be higher taxed” group
