Well, this picture is from Finland (a country with very small differences in incomes): http://hs10.snstatic.fi/webkuva/taysi/630/1460170330858?ts=5...

Y-scale is the taxes paid

X-scale is the income

As you can see... people in middle class and lower play by the rules almost perfectly. Now the richest don't play anymore. There are those that play by the rules, but a lot of those that don't.

Finland has a progressive income tax.

So let's stop the bullshit that everything does it. This picture shows it clearly that only the richest are the assholes (in meaningful way).

And then there are jurisdictions that fund themselves primarily from offering incorporation services, instead of levying an income tax at all.

The state needs to make better rules, obviously passive taxation has pitiful compliance outcomes.
