Paying more than 70% of what you earn is not fair. It is slavery and confiscation.

And it always happens the same way, those in charge, in power, who control this 70% will manage to spend it on themselves one way or another.

In the soviet Union official markets will have stands selling just one potato, or one lemon or egg. Then in the black market the communist families could buy(or access, because with power and influence you don't need money)everything, from good meat, fish...

People that traveled abroad, with public money were the children of the communist... they had access to (imported)TVs, good houses and cars instantly while the rest of the population will wait for years or decades, only to get bullshit TVs, bullshit houses and bullshit cars.

In the UK,and the US with confiscation taxes rich people found ways to not pay taxes at all. It was only a barrier of entry to middle class.

It's only 70% of what you earn on dollars after certain other nominal limits. For example, 70% of what you earn after you've earned your first $1,000,000.00. Please do spare everyone these absurd tears for the "enslaved" rich.
